A safe work place requires all lights and the horn

vehicle restraint if parts are broken or missing.
When working with electrical or electronic
controls, make sure that the power source has
been locked out and tagged according to OSHA
regulations and approved local electrical codes.
Post safety warnings and barricade work area, at
dock level and at ground level, to prevent
unauthorized use of the dock pition.
Maintenance may be required more frequently at
loading docks exposed to harsh environments
(extreme climates, corrosive chemicals,
frequency of usage, etc.). Consult RITE-HITE if
these conditions exist for accelerated
maintenance requirements.
