requirements that are particularly relevant to loading dock safety.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"6944\" data-end=\"6969\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maximum_intended_load\"><\/span>Maksymalne zamierzone obci\u0105\u017cenie<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p data-start=\"6971\" data-end=\"7050\">OSHA requires dockboards to be capable of supporting the maximum intended load.<\/p><p data-start=\"7052\" data-end=\"7103\">This reinforces an important procurement principle:<\/p><p data-start=\"7105\" data-end=\"7294\">A dock leveler should be selected according to the actual operating load and application, not simply the nominal weight of the goods being transported.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"7296\" data-end=\"7348\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Protection_against_vehicles_running_off_the_edge\"><\/span>Ochrona przed zjechaniem pojazd\u00f3w z kraw\u0119dzi<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p data-start=\"7350\" data-end=\"7666\">For dockboards initially placed into service on or after January 17, 2017, OSHA generally requires them to be designed, constructed and maintained to prevent transfer vehicles from running off the dockboard edge, unless the employer can demonstrate that there is no such hazard.<\/p><p data-start=\"7668\" data-end=\"7746\">This becomes particularly important for facilities using forklifts frequently.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"7748\" data-end=\"7779\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Preventing_vehicle_movement\"><\/span>Zapobieganie ruchowi pojazd\u00f3w<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p data-start=\"7781\" data-end=\"7874\">One of the most significant loading dock risks has little to do with the dock leveler itself:<\/p><p data-start=\"7876\" data-end=\"7895\">the truck can move.<\/p><p data-start=\"7897\" data-end=\"8124\">OSHA requires measures such as wheel chocks, sand shoes or other appropriate means to prevent a truck, semi-trailer, trailer or rail car from moving while employees are using the dockboard.<\/p><p data-start=\"8126\" data-end=\"8210\">This is why truck dock safety should be evaluated together with dock leveler safety.<\/p><p data-start=\"8212\" data-end=\"8317\">A correctly designed platform cannot create a safe bridge if the vehicle unexpectedly moves away from it.<\/p><h3 data-start=\"8319\" data-end=\"8342\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Portable_dockboards\"><\/span>Przeno\u015bne pomosty prze\u0142adunkowe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p data-start=\"8344\" data-end=\"8510\">OSHA also contains specific requirements for portable dockboards, including securing them against movement and providing handholds or another means for safe handling.<\/p><p data-start=\"8512\" data-end=\"8768\">Not every provision applies identically to a permanently installed hydraulic dock leveler and a portable dock plate, so buyers should distinguish between the different equipment types when evaluating OSHA requirements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c539b01
