Loading Dock Protocols for IAQ
Mouse over the picture above to see messages which are referenced in more detail below.
(Hot Spot on truck engine)
- Remember...“Stop vehicle pollution at the loading dock at it’s source”
- Do not allow idling of trucks at the loading dock.
- Place “no idling” signs and enforce the policy rigorously
(Hot Spot on receiving area opening)
- Remember...“Prevent loading dock pollution from entering the building”
- Pressurize the receiving area relative to the outside to insure that contaminants from the loading area do not enter the building.
- Use vestibules and air locks if necessary to prevent outdoor pollutants from entering the receiving area.
(Hot Spot on emissions)
- Remember...“Check the location of outdoor air intakes to insure that loading dock emissions do not enter the air handling system.”
