We have a trailer that we back up to drop our NDA. We are not allowed to enter the trailer because we don't have the "clearance". So if your truck is bricked out and you need to unload air, you need to back up, leave a gap, and then stand in the gap between your PC and the trailer to unchain your door and open it. So meanwhile there are other PCs backing up just a few inches from your PC.
I always was under the understanding that you never stand between a vehicle and a dock. I mean that's safety 101 when it comes to yards. One time I witnessed a manual PC stop and then roll back against the trailer because it wasn't in gear properly. If someone would have been behind it they would have been crushed to death.
I have asked several times, several managers and our safety committee for some simple platforms that you could step on to unchain your truck and open it. We actually have some in our building against our belts. It seems ridiculous that this is even an issue. It is just a matter of time before someone gets crushed behind the PC. All it will take is the right kind of ice or another PC hitting yours when they back up and pushing it into you.
I'm getting tired of this company spouting the same safety jargon like wear a vest and then ignoring very obvious safety issues. I'm getting tempted to call OSHA on these idiots.
