MARCOM’s Loading Dock Safety course is an interactive online training program that reviews the different types of hazards that employees can encounter while working on loading docks, as well as discusses the equipment and safe work practices they should use to avoid them.

A loading dock full of hustle and bustle is a sign of a healthy business, but all that activity can increase the hazards that employees are exposed to, and lead to injuries and even fatalities. The course covers safe working procedures, preventing slips, trips and falls, docking transport vehicles, operating materials handling equipment on a loading dock, and more.

The course uses a combination of audio, full-motion video, text, and colorful graphics. It is divided into logical sections, so information is easily understood and retained. The course is 100% online, self-paced, and accessible on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
