Cargo Securement Standards

Cargo Securement Standards are regulations designed to ensure that freight transported by road is safely secured to prevent shifting, tipping, or falling during transit. These standards specify the methods and materials that should be used, such as ropes, straps, or other devices, to secure loads on trucks and trailers. Proper securement protects not only the cargo but also the safety of other road users by reducing the risk of accidents caused by loose items. Adhering to these standards is crucial for compliance and the integrity of the transport system.
