With a combination of competing timelines, less than ideal lighting, tight tolerances and people & equipment in close quarters, loading docks can be one of the more dangerous areas in a warehouse.
On November 19th, 2014 Dan Beer, CMHDS President, presented the results of a research study he recently completed for Safety Driven. Dan leveraged his extensive contacts in Vancouver’s logistics & distribution community, speaking with numerous managers, team leaders and workers to get their input and first hand experiences on this topic. The presentation covered the three causes of 88% of all dock accidents & injuries and the countermeasures and best practices to address them.
