What the law expects at a loading bay

Across Great Britain, including Bexleyheath, loading bays bring together several duties: maintained work equipment under PUWER 1998, safe traffic routes under the Workplace Regulations 1992, and safe powered doors under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008. Dock levellers should meet BS EN 1398, and the site's risk assessment should cover vehicle creep and drive-aways.

Planning the work around your site

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about bollards and door protection

Will fitting bollards damage the floor at our Bexleyheath site?

We check slab thickness and look for buried services before drilling. Polymer bollards and proper foundations reduce the risk of slab cracking on heavy impacts, and we recommend the right fixing for your floor.

Which bollards suit our Bexleyheath warehouse?

Steel bollards suit most yards and external doors; polymer bollards suit busy internal routes where they will be hit often. The slab and vehicle weights decide the fixing. We recommend after seeing where your doors are being struck.
