Put a Freeze on Injuries
Loading docks and terminal yards can be dangerous places at any time of the year. The combination of trucks, forklifts, ledges, steps, stacked freight, pallet debris, rollup doors, and pedestrians increases the risk of struck-by and slip, trip, and fall injuries. When you throw winter weather into the mix, the risk can get even worse. Snow, ice, sleet, mud, and rain reduce traction. Less sunlight, fog, and road salt create visibility problems. Employees may be rushed to meet the increased demands of holiday shipping. These conditions make injury prevention seem impossible, but it is achievable.
