What must be done to a dolly that is no longer in transit?

When a dolly is no longer in transit, one of the primary safety measures that must be taken is to set the brakes. This action prevents the dolly from rolling or moving accidentally, which is crucial for maintaining safety in environments where munitions or hazardous materials are present. Setting the brakes ensures stability, especially if the dolly is loaded, serving as a critical step in securing the equipment properly when it is not in motion.

While unloading the load, returning to storage, and cleaning and inspecting the dolly are important steps in the handling and management of equipment, they are not as immediate as setting the brakes in ensuring the safety and stability of the dolly in its current position. Setting the brakes is a foundational safety practice that must be prioritized in any situation where equipment is paused or no longer being actively used.
