Devices for securing trucks and trailers to loading docks

Abstract

At the request of the Association paritaire pour la santé et la sécurité du travail du secteur du transport et de l'entreposage [Joint Health and Safety Association, Transportation and Warehousing Sector], the IRSST will establish a directory of the available means to prevent truck and trailer movement at loading docks. Available devices will be described and the principles of their operation and use explained. A summary evaluation of the devices' ability to reduce falls of dollies and a list of the main distributors and manufacturers will also be included.
