Research into load safety
August 1st 2007

The Freight Transport Association has launched a research project into the safe securing of loads and equipment in vans.

The Association has asked consultants TRL to establish best practice for load retention, taking into account reasonableness and practicality. The new best practice guide will also consider the typical forces experienced by the vehicle and its load, including racking, in the event of a collision.

The research project is expected to be completed by the end of the year.
