Loading bay safety in England

Dock levellers, shelters and restraints are work equipment, so in Waterlooville 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Hampshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Waterlooville

What safety systems should our Waterlooville loading bays have?

That follows your risk assessment, but busy bays commonly have traffic lights, door-leveller interlocks, vehicle restraints or sensored chocks, dock lights and edge protection. We recommend a package after seeing how your bays are used.

Can a loading bay be added to our Waterlooville unit without a pit?

Often, yes. A loading house built out in front of the door, or an edge-of-dock leveller for light use, avoids cutting a pit in the floor. We check which option suits the building and the traffic on survey.

Do you maintain loading bay equipment across Hampshire?

Yes. We service and repair doors, levellers, shelters and controls across Hampshire, and can set up planned maintenance covering every item at the bay. Service and repair visits are chargeable.
