Hi Guys
Can anyone please point me in the direction of some industry/HSE guidance that deals with dock levelling equipment. I need to review our SSOW and want to use industry best practise as a guide if poss. We have had a few incidents involving trapped body parts and uncontrolled use. Thank you
MG

I suspect what may be of use to you is BS EN 1398:1998 a BSI document of some 19 pages, dedicated to dock levellers.
Hope that helps you.

On a similar topic can anybody point me to commercial equipment which provides fall protection at the edge of an open dock whilst allowing the dock to be loaded with a pallet from a forklift truck outside
thanks
Martin

Martin.
Try the canal engineering web site (www.canalengineering.co.uk) and look at the Ajax – High Level Safety Barriers. I am sure many other companies have similar systems. This one just happened to be advertising in a magazine I had on my desk. I have seen companies try to construct their own versions of these systems, but often they get the counterbalancing totally wrong, and while a fall from heights risk is removed they introduce a massive manual handling and trapping risk.
Brian.
