Exhaust Emissions
Never allow the truck to remain stationary in confined spaces with the engine
running. Engine exhaust fumes are harmful. Do not inhale exhaust. When performing
service and inspection work in an enclosed space, vent the exhaust out of the area.
Dock Boards (Bridge Plates)
Dock boards are designed and maintained so that one end contacts the dock (or
loading platform) and the other end contacts the transport vessel. When you load or
unload the transport vessel the dock board must be locked in place to prevent it from
rocking or sliding. Dock boards must have a high friction surface designed to reduce
the possibility of people or trucks slipping.
If using dock boards on loading docks:
Never exceed the carrying capacity marked on portable or powered dock
boards.
Portable dock boards must be secured in position, using anchors or other
devices that prevent slipping.
Trailers and Rail Cars
1. Before loading or unloading a trailer or rail car make sure it does not move
unintentionally:
Set the brakes
Chock the wheels
2. In addition to setting the brakes and chocking the wheels, if a semi-trailer is
not coupled to a tractor, make sure that all four corners are supported to
prevent upending or corner dipping.
3. Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, platforms, or other similar
working surfaces.
4. Never attempt to move a trailer with the Combilift truck.
