Steps
Inspect dock levelers, restraints, and dockboards for visible damage, proper locking/engagement, and lip/hinge condition before first shift use.
Verify wheel chocks or restraint systems are present, functional, and staged at each active dock door.
Confirm light communication systems are operating correctly before relying on them to control loading access.
Ensure powered industrial truck operators are trained and evaluated per OSHA 1910.178 requirements, including site-specific dock hazards, before operating at the dock.
Document daily inspection results and take equipment out of service (rather than working around it) when a deficiency is found.
Known gotchas
Pre-shift checks are only effective if out-of-service equipment is actually taken out of use - a documented but ignored deficiency doesn't satisfy the intent of the standard.
OSHA 1910.178 operator training and evaluation requirements apply specifically to the powered industrial truck operator - confirm this certification is current and distinct from general facility safety training.
