Driver Notice Board – Trailer Coupling & Site Safety - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A Driver Notice Board displaying messages such as “Report to site manager before coupling to trailer,” “Loading must be completed before coupling to trailer,” “Comply with traffic signals at all times,” “Parking brake and wheel chocks must be applied if uncoupling trailer,” and “Do not attempt to pull away on a red light” is used to communicate critical operational and safety instructions to drivers handling trailers and heavy vehicles within a site. The board ensures that drivers follow proper procedures during coupling, loading, and maneuvering, reducing the risk of accidents, collisions, and operational errors.

This board should be installed at key operational areas, such as trailer loading bays, warehouse docks, industrial depots, or distribution centres where trailers are coupled, loaded, or uncoupled. Placement should be highly visible to approaching drivers, ideally at the entrance to the loading area or directly adjacent to the trailer bays. For larger facilities, multiple boards may be used to reinforce the messages and ensure that all drivers are aware of site-specific rules.

Using this Driver Notice Board enhances workplace safety by clearly communicating procedures that prevent trailer accidents, ensure proper braking and chocking, and enforce adherence to traffic signals within the site. It also promotes compliance with site rules and standard operating procedures, minimising operational delays, equipment damage, and personal injuries.

Ultimately, this board protects drivers, warehouse personnel, and other site workers by providing a clear, visible reminder of safe trailer handling and traffic protocols. By consolidating multiple instructions in one location, it fosters a controlled, safe, and efficient environment for trailer operations.
