Load Securing, Restraint and Rollover Prevention

Gives drivers and loading staff the practical skills to secure cargo so it stays put and the vehicle stays upright. Covers restraint equipment, load distribution, centre of gravity and the driving techniques that prevent rollovers on African roads. Focuses on preventing the shifted loads and tip overs that cause serious crashes, cargo damage and road closures.

What you will be able to do

Select and apply straps, chains, dunnage and blocking for different cargo types.
Inspect restraint equipment and rejection criteria before every trip.
Explain how load shift and high centre of gravity cause rollovers.
Apply driving techniques that reduce rollover risk on bends and slopes.
Check and re secure loads at stops during long journeys.
