Wheel Chock Safety

Are you worried about someone stealing your wheel chocks? Do you fear a worker might misplace a chock? Do you want to ensure your employees are in compliance with OSHA and use the chocks? If so, there are chock safety products such as signs and chains built to put your mind at ease.

There are security chains available for wheel chocks that are 10, 12 and 15-feet long. You can also have them custom made. The chains come with attachment links and dock anchors. Chain your chocks to your dock and help prevent misplacement and theft.

Purchase a safety sign that says "Caution: Truck Wheels Must Be Chocked" to ensure your employees are in compliance with OSHA. The signs measure 10-by-14 inches and are in safety yellow with bold black lettering. The signs have four holes for easy mounting as well.
