Port Laredo Groundsman Safety Checklist

by Joseph Gonzalez, from the Community

This checklist supports groundsmen at Port Laredo to work safely around railcars and cranes. It helps verify required PPE, confirm track lockout before mounting railcars, use proper tools such as an IBC hammer, and apply three or four point contact when mounting and dismounting. It promotes constant communication with crane operators, avoiding suspended loads and pinch points, staying clear of rotating arms, keeping the ground worker within the operator’s line of sight, and preventing distractions or sharing a railcar with the operator. It also captures site, date, preparer, and location details.
