Wheel chocks are required by OSHA in three specific situations, none of them in the DOT vehicle equipment rules. This guide gives the exact citations, the quarter-diameter sizing convention and what overrides it, the difference between a vehicle chock and a pallet-jack chock, and how to place a chock so it actually holds.

This guide covers inspection, fork insertion, lifting, travel, and parking, plus the regulatory line between manual jacks and powered industrial trucks. It ends with a worked dock-to-racking example using rated equipment.
