Course Aims
Drivers and Transport Managers are responsible for ensuring a load stays secure during transit and doesn't become a danger to themselves or other road users.
Load security is no place for guesswork - throwing a lashing over a load, without knowing if it is strong enough or in good enough condition risks the load not being secured safely and could be potentially dangerous.
