Safe Loading and Unloading

Course Aim:

Workers loading and unloading materials should be instructed in safe procedures appropriate to the material they handle. Truck or rail tank car loading or the unloading of flammable/combustible liquids is one of the most hazardous operations likely to be undertaken at any manufacturing or storage facility. Workers engaged in the loading or unloading of suspension-type highway trailers may be at an increased risk of injury due to the inability of damaged trailers to support the weight of the powered industrial truck used to load or unload the trailer.  Basic Loading and Unloading course will provide you with an overview of how to safely prepare, lift, position and restrain goods on a vehicle platform and then unload goods at the destination.
