Inspection Setup

Confirm the correct dock door, dock lock, and inspection area are identified before testing begins.
Verify the inspector is following the site SOP for dock lock use, including normal operation and bypass procedure.

Hook Engagement and Mechanical Condition

Check that the hook fully engages the trailer ICC bar or approved restraint point without slipping, misalignment, or partial contact.
Verify the hook moves smoothly through its full travel and returns to the expected position without binding or delay.
Inspect the dock lock assembly, mounting points, and fasteners for visible wear, damage, deformation, or missing hardware.

Signal Lights and Status Indicators

Confirm the dock signal light displays the correct status for the current dock lock condition and is visible from the driver approach area.
Verify the inside indicator or control light corresponds to the actual dock lock state and does not show conflicting information.
Check that lenses are intact, lights illuminate properly, and no pallets, debris, or equipment block visibility.

Bypass Procedure and Controls

Verify the bypass switch, key control, or override device is labeled and not readily accessible to unauthorized users.
Confirm the site bypass procedure is posted or otherwise available for reference at the dock location.
Test or verify that bypass operation clearly communicates the dock condition and does not leave the dock in an unsafe or misleading state.

Basic Operational Safety Checks

Check the dock approach, platform edge, and immediate work area for debris, spills, loose materials, or trip hazards.
Observe the dock lock during operation for abnormal noise, vibration, sticking, or intermittent movement.
Verify safety labels, operating instructions, and warning placards are present and readable.

Inspector Sign-Off

Final determination that the dock lock passed pre-use inspection and may be used for dock operations.
Inspector signs to confirm the inspection was completed accurately.
