29 CFR 1910.26(c): The employer did not ensure that portable dockboards were secured by anchoring them in place or using equipment or devices that prevent the dockboard from moving out of a safe position. If the employer has demonstrated that securing the dockboard is not feasible, the employer did not ensure that there is sufficient contact between the dockboard and the surface to prevent the dockboard from moving out of a safe position: (a) Lexmark International Inc. at 6555 Monarch Road in Longmont, CO: On and before June 27, 2021, the employer did not ensure that the dockboard used at the entrance of a storage trailer was secured from displacement.
