European Best Practice Guidelines on Cargo Securing

The European Best Practice Guidelines on Cargo Securing provide standardized methods to ensure goods are safely fastened during transit, preventing accidents or damage. They specify how to select appropriate securing devices, such as straps, chains, or blocks, based on cargo type and size. The guidelines emphasize proper distribution of weight, effective tensioning, and regular inspections to maintain safety throughout the journey. Adhering to these practices helps protect drivers, other road users, and cargo integrity by reducing the risk of shifting or falling during transportation. Overall, they promote consistency and best practices in cargo securement across Europe.
