Where are the requirements to enter truck trailers?
['Forklifts and Powered Trucks']
- Special precautions must be taken when entering truck trailers with a PIT.
One of the most dangerous operations involving powered industrial trucks (PITs) is the loading or unloading of trucks, trailers, and railroad cars. Not only may the vehicle being entered be unstable, but the means of going from the warehouse to the vehicle by way of a dockboard can also be dangerous. While entering and leaving truck trailers or railroad cars, operators must be aware of the following:
- Falling off the edge of a loading dock.
- Trucks or railroad cars moving during loading and unloading.
- Slipping or inadequate dockboards.
