Forklift Dock Fall Prevention: 5 Warning Signs, Retrofits, and What to Do After an Incident

A forklift driving off a loading dock is almost never an accident: every incident shows at least one of five warning signs within 24 hours beforehand — a failing dock leveler, a slippery dock floor, poor night lighting, an open door with no trailer, or a fatigued driver.
