Why Add a Serco S900DD Dry Dock System in Your Loading Dock Facility in Angier, NC?

Commercial and industrial buildings and warehouses contain a loading Dock or loading bay. Just as the name implies, a loading Dock is where vehicles that deliver goods are loaded and unloaded. There are three kinds of loading docks---fully enclosed, flush with the building envelope, or exterior.

Loading Docks are vulnerable to danger. These include forklifts that get in and out of truck trailers that make sharp turns to avoid staged pallet loads, open doors that lead to 3-foot drops to the driveway and stacked pallets that can drop on passersby. The worst among these is the danger of Dock floors that are wet or slick.

Twenty-five percent of accidents lead to injuries in Docks. Thus, loading docks are considered as a danger zone. "Slips and falls accounted for 34 percent of workers' compensation claims, putting these incidents as the second leading cause for claims," according to the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point.

These accidents connected with loading dock have claims that reach up to $6.6 billion yearly, according to the 2007 data of Liberty Mutual Safety Index. Research showed that the number of injuries related to slips and falls increases even though there was a decrease in the incidence of other injuries.
