Loading docks
Loading dock materials storage areas
Distribution facilities for mail and package delivery
Facilities used for furniture and event supplies storage and transport
The topics covered are designed to supplement inspections...

A fuel container can be touched, picked up, and/or moved after assessment and conclusion that it poses no imminent danger to the person handling the item.
