Explanation:

Evaluate safety regulations for dock boards and vehicle loading

OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.26(g) requires dockboards to be secured and have proper capacity markings. OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.178(k) requires truck brakes to be set and wheel chocks placed under rear wheels to prevent movement during loading or unloading.

Evaluate telehandler and forklift fork usage

Using forks (whether on a forklift or telehandler) to open railroad car doors is a hazardous practice that can damage the doors, bend the forks, or cause structural failure, and is explicitly prohibited by safety regulations unless the equipment is specifically designed with an approved attachment for that purpose.

• (A) Dock board should be properly secured
• (B) Dock boards should have proper capacity markings
• (C) Brakes and wheel chocks should be applied before loading or unloading
