This dock leveller operation method statement template from Health & Safety Zone is designed for warehouse operatives, lift truck operators and warehouse supervisors who need a clear, compliant safe system of work for operating hydraulic dock levellers and dock plates between the warehouse floor and the trailer at loading bays.
It covers the main hazards of dock leveller work, including the trailer moving or pulling away while the lip is in position, a lip that is not fully supported so the load drops into the gap, feet and toes being trapped by the moving platform or lip, and being struck by a lift truck in the dock and yard.

The template sets out the introduction and legal framework, the training and competence required, a scope of works broken into stages, step-by-step planning for each stage, the personal protective equipment required and the finishing and post-operation checks, ready for your team to expand with site-specific detail.
Fully editable and shareable, it can be tailored to your site, branded with your company details and shared with your workforce for sign-off before work begins.
