What to specify
- Traffic lights. Clear signals for drivers and forklift operators at every stage of loading.
- One package. Door, leveller, shelter, bumpers and lights specified together.
- Phased refurbishment. Bays refurbished one at a time so the site keeps trading.
- Shelters and seals. A shelter or seal closes the gap around the vehicle during loading.
- Impact protection. Bumpers, wheel guides and bollards protect the building and equipment.
What this work can involve
- Specifying vehicle restraints, traffic lights and dock lights as part of a review of how trailers leave the dock.
- Phasing bay refurbishment at a cold store, one bay per weekend, so temperature-controlled loading carries on.
- Retrofitting traffic lights and door-leveller interlocks to a run of existing loading bays.
What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Troon, 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
