The area around the loading bay and the vehicle can be a dangerous working zone. On occasions vehicles have been known to drive away from the loading bay prematurely during the loading or unloading process, this is known as a “Drive-Off”. When this happens, the resulting consequences can lead to serious injury or even a fatality. Vehicles “creeping” from the loading bay can also lead to a dangerous situation. A similar scenario to a “Drive-Off” can occur when forklift trucks or MHE moves from the warehouse to the vehicle. When the forklift or MHE travels onto the vehicle, the resulting momentum forces can cause the vehicle to creep away from the warehouse. When this scenario occurs, the dock-leveller lip can drop from the bed of the vehicle which can also lead to a dangerous situation.
