Loading Dock Hazards – Toolbox Talk

Loading docks are among the busiest—and most dangerous—zones on any site. This Loading Dock Hazards Toolbox Talk trains your team to spot risks, follow procedures, and coordinate movements in areas where forklifts, trailers, and foot traffic converge. It covers common incidents like falls, trailer separation, and struck-by equipment to help prevent serious injuries.

Whether your crew loads delivery trucks, receives shipments, or stages materials, this talk builds practical awareness and compliance confidence.
