load securement regulations

Load securement regulations require that cargo on vehicles be properly fastened to prevent shifting, falling, or causing accidents during transit. These rules specify the types and amounts of tiedowns, their placement, and proper tension to ensure safety for all road users. Effective securement reduces the risk of damage, injury, and liability, and is enforced by transportation authorities. Complying with these regulations involves assessing the load, using appropriate tie-downs, and ensuring everything is stable before and during travel, helping ensure safe, compliant transport of goods.
