When opening a container, always examine the quality of the air.
Many overlook the process of assessing the air quality in the trailer, emphasising the importance of this aspect as lift truck operators can get dizzy and lose consciousness.
For example, products get delivered in a container from China, traveling a lengthy path all the way. So, before unloading, they put a two-foot fan on wheels inside, which blows the ‘bad’ air out with high-capacity air for around 20 minutes, which also helps with lowering the temperatures and preventing workers from working in the heat.
After that, the space has to be checked again with an air quality monitor. He also says air quality can be particularly an issue when transporting meat and poultry – even in reefer trailers.
