Find answers to commonly asked questions below.
-
What is the OSHA rule for wheel chocks?
OSHA requires that wheel chocks be used to secure trucks and trailers during loading and unloading operations to prevent accidental movement. This rule is part of OSHAās safety standards for material handling and dock operations, ensuring vehicles remain stationary while workers are at risk. Employers must provide wheel chocks and enforce their use as a critical safety measure.
-
Can I use a brick as a wheel chock?
Using a brick as a wheel chock is not safe and strongly discouraged. Bricks are not designed to withstand the weight or pressure of a vehicle and can easily crack or slip, creating a serious hazard. They also lack the proper shape and grip needed to hold wheels securely. Always use purpose-built wheel chocks made from durable materials like rubber or metal for reliable safety.
-
Do you need 1 or 2 wheel chocks?
For maximum security, you generally need two wheel chocksāone for each side of a wheel or for both wheels on an axle. Using only one chock may reduce effectiveness, especially on slopes or with heavy vehicles. Placing chocks on both sides ensures the vehicle remains completely stationary, even if external forces like wind or vibration occur.
-
