- Traffic lights. Inside and outside lights show when the bay is safe to use.
- Interlocks. Door, leveller and restraint operate only in a safe sequence.

Loading bay safety in Wales
Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Clwyd the business running the site must keep them in efficient working order under PUWER 1998, and keep traffic routes safe under the Workplace Regulations 1992. Dock levellers are built to BS EN 1398; powered loading bay doors are covered by the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008 and BS EN 12453.
Keeping your site running during the work
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
