Every business owner would love to ensure the safety of their workers and prevent occupational hazards at all costs. Every manufacturing and essential business has a warehouse and these warehouses have loading docks. Loading docks are essentially places where the goods are loaded and unloaded for various purposes such as storage, distribution, etc.
