Реферат: A safety system (16) for a truck loading dock (14) with an elevated platform (18) provides an alarm (26,28) that warns of a hazard at the loading dock such as a forklift operating inside the truck (24) or a falling hazard that may exist due to the dock door (20) being open while a truck is not present at the dock. In cases where a dock's open doorway (12) is protected by a barrier (22) that can be opened or closed, the alarm (26) can be de-activated by closing the barrier. In some embodiments, the safety system includes a remote body sensor (70) that detects when someone (32) or something is near the doorway. In response to the body sensor, a second, more pronounced alarm can warn of more imminent danger where someone on the platform may be too close to an open doorway when a truck is not present.
