Approximately 25% of all factory and warehouse accidents occur in loading dock and yard operations, underscoring the critical need for robust safety measures. In this presentation, we will highlight the importance of yard safety, examine common hazards, and explore the significant financial and operational impacts of workplace injuries. We’ll also discuss the implementation of practical safety solutions and introduce the Salvo Loading Dock Safety System—a trapped key interlock system designed to prevent accidental drive-aways and bridge the safety gap between yard and warehouse environments.
