On completion of a scheduled passenger service, the aircraft was parked on Stand L23. One operator positioned a mobile baggage loader adjacent to the rear freight door while another operator opened the freight door using the switch located next to the door. The second operator asked the first operator to check the clearance between the loader and the door but the message was not understood because of the high noise level in the area. As the door opened, it struck a metal handrail on the loader causing minor damage to the door. The aircraft was examined and returned to service.
