What the law expects at a loading bay
Across Great Britain, including Oswestry, 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.

Dock leveller and loading bay repairs in Oswestry: your questions
Is our dock leveller in Oswestry safe to use?
If it drifts, drops, leaks significantly, has cracked hinges or damaged toe guards, or will not return to stored position, stop using it and isolate it until it has been inspected and repaired.
Can loading bay repairs in Oswestry be done out of hours?
Yes. Repairs take a bay out of use, so we can work early, late or at weekends where needed, with any extra cost shown in the quote before the visit is booked.
How soon can you repair a leveller at our Oswestry site?
We book repair visits as soon as we can and confirm the expected date when you call. We do not promise fixed response times. Photos and the leveller make help us bring likely parts.
