cargo securement standard

Cargo securement standards are guidelines and regulations that ensure freight is safely fastened to prevent shifting, falling, or damage during transportation. They specify the types of tie-downs, straps, and methods used, as well as the maximum weight and placement to maintain stability. These standards help protect drivers, cargo, and the public by reducing accidents caused by unsecured or poorly secured loads. Following these rules is essential for safety, legal compliance, and protecting the integrity of the cargo during transit.
