Depending on the weather, it's not practical or even possible to completely eliminate slippery conditions around a loading dock.
Slip-Resistant Shoes will improve safety. However, no rubber or leather-sole slip-resistant shoe is effective on ice.
Ice cleats provide traction on ice and snow. However, ice cleats
Constantly puting ice cleats on and off isn't practical or even reasonable to expect.
LOW-PRO is my top recommendation for people with regular shoes and boots constantly going in and out of doors, vehicles, or have difficulty putting ice cleats on and taking them off. LOW-PRO is safe to wear while driving and on most indoor floors without damaging them. So you can often leave LOW-PRO Ice Cleats on your shoes and boots all day.

Choose gritted ice cleats when non-conductivity and non-sparking are crucial. Examples include oil and gas extraction, processing, and transport, refueling operations. around explosives, and grain storage. Non-Sparking ice cleats are much safer than ice cleats that are only spark-retardant.
GRIPS-LITE™ give you improved traction on a variety of slick surfaces including oil and grease, wet floors, and chemicals. However, if your primary concern is slick winter surfaces and you do not require non-conductivity or Non-Sparking, choose a Studded Ice Cleat. That's because gritted ice cleats only reduce falls on the ice and snow by 40 to 50 percent and because they're far less effective in frigid temperatures when the ice is denser.
