This dock door inspection checklist helps JHSC teams and warehouse managers verify the condition and operation of dock locks, levelers, doors, lights, indicator lights, screen doors, T bars, ramps, and housekeeping around each bay. Use it to spot visible damage, confirm restraints and lights work inside and out, ensure ramps and concrete are in good condition, and keep areas clean and free of debris. Record issues for maintenance, improve safety and uptime, and support compliance in distribution facilities across multiple dock doors.
