Unsecured or inadequately secured loads pose a safety risk and could cause injury and even death.

Unsecured or inadequately secured loads can shift when a vehicle is in motion and may cause:

• Loss of control of vehicle
• Objects to fall on or hit people
• Road obstruction or collision where a driver is required to swerve to avoid fallen items
• Spillages that may cause vehicles to lose control
• Failure to secure loads properly may also result in financial losses due to damaged goods and vehicles, lost working time, clean-up costs and possible legal costs.
