data-end=\"12629\">For U.S. facilities, several OSHA requirements are especially relevant.<\/p><p data-start=\"12631\" data-end=\"13089\">OSHA 29 CFR 1910.26 requires dockboards to support the maximum intended load. Newer dockboards covered by the rule generally need protection against transfer vehicles running off the edge, subject to the stated exception. Portable dockboards must be secured against unsafe movement, and employers must use measures to prevent trucks, semi-trailers, trailers or rail cars from moving while employees are on the dockboard.<\/p><p data-start=\"13091\" data-end=\"13314\">OSHA separately defines <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/powered-industrial-trucks\/loading-unloading?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dockboards to include <strong data-start=\"13137\" data-end=\"13154\">niveleurs de quai<\/strong><\/a>, which is why these requirements matter to permanently installed loading dock equipment as well as other dockboard types.<\/p><p data-start=\"13316\" data-end=\"13605\">For forklift operations, 29 CFR 1910.178 and associated OSHA guidance are also relevant. OSHA identifies powered industrial trucks as a major source of hazards during loading and unloading and emphasizes proper training and safe operating practices.<\/p><p data-start=\"13607\" data-end=\"13667\">A key point for buyers is that OSHA does <strong data-start=\"13648\" data-end=\"13655\">not<\/strong> simply say:<\/p><blockquote data-start=\"13669\" data-end=\"13721\"><p data-start=\"13671\" data-end=\"13721\">\u201cEvery loading dock must use a trailer restraint.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote><p data-start=\"13723\" data-end=\"13804\">The requirement is to prevent unsafe vehicle movement using appropriate measures.<\/p><p data-start=\"13806\" data-end=\"14013\">OSHA guidance allows a positive mechanical means of securing a truck or trailer when it provides equivalent protection and is correctly installed, maintained and used.<\/p><p data-start=\"14015\" data-end=\"14088\">That distinction is important when specifying a trailer restraint
