Are wheel chocks required by OSHA or FMCSA?
Wheel chocks are required by both OSHA and FMCSA regulations whenever there is a risk of vehicle movement, such as during loading, unloading, or maintenance, especially when air brakes are disengaged. Proper use of wheel chocks helps meet workplace safety rules on construction sites, warehouses, and truck yards throughout North America.
Can I use wood or rubber wheel chocks on a construction site?
Wood and basic rubber chocks are common but not recommended for construction sites since they degrade faster and provide less holding power than durable polyurethane options. Checkers wheel chocks are specifically engineered for long service life, safety and dependability in both hot and cold climates.
