Load securement practices

Load securement involves using appropriate equipment and techniques to keep cargo stable and safe during transport. This includes selecting the right straps, chains, or tie-downs that match the weight and type of the load. Properly tightening and positioning these restraints prevents shifting, falling, or damage, reducing risks on the road. Manufacturers’ guidelines and legal requirements should be followed to ensure compliance. Regular inspection during transit helps identify potential issues early. Effective load securement is essential for safety, protecting both the cargo and everyone on the road.
