For some time now there has been a crackdown on the security of loads on or within a vehicle Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) have made changes to the guidance for load security to make this clearer Spotting a vehicle to the side of a road, pulled over to further assess the load & adjusting the security measures that are in place can minimise the risk of displacement & increased risk to other road users Are businesses completing appropriate assessment of risk associated with the movement of goods? Are load security measures checked by drivers & business for serviceability? Are spare load security measures carried? #iirsmwestmids #dvsa #loadsecurity #roadsafety #vehiclemovement #riskmanagement
We have made some changes to the DVSA load security guidance to make it clearer. There is more guidance on carrying out appropriate risk assessments on loads. 📜 We have also included clarification on covering loose loads and some other minor amendments. Operators should familiarise themselves with the updated guidance to make sure vehicles are loaded safely and appropriately.
