6 Risk Management Hazard Identification Risk Assessment Control Measures

7 Risk Management Hazard Risk Control Measures Vehicle Movement Unsecure loads Load handling Rainwater ingress - slippery surfaces Trailer/ Dock Compatibility (Trailer drop) Pedestrian impact or crushing Falling loads Sprains, strains & crushing Slips, trips & falls Falls, crushes 1. Pownall valve to eliminate roll away 2. Rear Proximity detectors 3. Rear view cameras/ Audio Warning 4. Neck Trestles (Axle load Calculations) 5. Safe-coupling system to eliminate catwalk access 1. Load containment and restraint 2. Flooring specification 1. Rollerbed Flooring 2. Lighting 3. Rearframe height 4. Clutter-free surfaces 1. Rainwater management 2. Anti-slip surfaces 3. Trailer Height 1. Trailer deck height 2. Aperture width 3. Buffer Design 4. Suitability for dock clamps (to prevent creep)

8 Vehicle Movement - Pownall Valve Pownall Valve applies mechanic brakes to Prevent vehicle roll away

9 Vehicle Movement - Proximity Detectors Flexible visual warning Ultra-sonic proximity detectors With Auto Brake Control

10 Rear View Cameras & Audio Warnings Addition of Audio Warning Beeper when reversing

11 Neck Trestles

12 Load Calculations Tipping Moment

13 Vehicle Movement Ground Level Coupling System

14 Load Containment Load Containment (0.5G)

15 Load Restraint Transverse Net/kite

16 Load Restraint Bars/Straps

17 Flooring Specification An ISO rated floor rated at 5460kgs may not withstand a 5460kgs FLT operation! Contact the manufacturer to find out what the floor failure threshold is. A broken floor can tip an FLT or load

18 Rollerbed Flooring

19 Internal Lighting

20 Rearframe Height

21 Clutter-Free Surfaces

22 Rainwater

23 Rainwater Deflectors

24 Rear Rainwater Gutters

25 Flooring Surfaces 5 Bar Treadplate (or Barleyseed) Hardwood/ Omega Slip-resistant phenolic coated ply with heat pattern GRP Grit coating

28 Trailer Suitability For Loading Docks

29 Deck Heights 1350mm 870mm

30 Aperture Width Apertures should be suited to dock levellers to minimise side gaps

31 Dock Buffers

32 Trailer Buffers

33 Dock Clamps/ Ramps

34 Suitability for Docking Equipment

35 Suitability for Docking Equipment

37 Conceptual Safety Measures Internal IR/ Shutter Sensors Actuate brakes when active Built-in Neck Trestles Shutter Load Viewports Self-Levelling Landing legs Avoid inclines associated with dock/deck height differences Tipping Sensor Warn loaders if trailer is likely to tip Dock Proximity Sensor Activate alarm if trailer creeps beyond a threshold Automatic Air Operated Shutter Only opens when park brake is on
