Training - Load Security for Road Transport 
HSL is to run a one day course on Load Security for Road Transport.
This course will be held at the Health
and Safety Laboratory, Harpur Hill, Buxton, Derbyshire on the
following date:
Date
Wednesday 26 November 2008
Introduction
Adequate load security is vital in ensuring
safe load transport, reducing the risk of
vehicle rollover, load shifts and falling
loads, as well as avoiding product
damage. Employers have legal
responsibilities to ensure that loads
transported by road are secured properly
to prevent load movement.
This course is designed to provide a sound
understanding of why loads shift and
what can be done to prevent load shift,
as well as addressing common
misconceptions around load security.
Practical examples of effective load
restraint will be given and there will be
an informal session at the end of the day
to discuss specific issues.
What will the course cover?
- Why loads should be secured
- Why loads shift
- The difference between load
containment and load restraint
- Assessing the risk
- Access to the vehicle and working at
heights
- Responsibility for securing the load
- Current UK and EU guidance and
legislation
Who should attend?
Transport managers and heath and safety
advisors.

of Buxton. Buxton is in the heart of the Peak District and has good
