It's no secret, loading docks are busy, dangerous places. In the U.S. alone, there were 11.46 billion tons of freight shipped by trucks in 2023, almost all of which came through a loading dock. OSHA reports that 25% of all industrial accidents occur in shipping and receiving areas, with about 100,000 reported forklift accidents every year.
