The penalties for insecure loads.

Ensuring loads are safe and secure is a legal obligation which rests, ultimately, on the driver. Employers are responsible for making sure employees understand the need to secure loads, how to secure loads and how to correctly use and secure all the equipment this might involve. Too often drivers are left to handle load safety without adequate equipment, instruction or oversight. Unfortunately, it’s still their job – and even if someone else has loaded the vehicle, the driver must check and approve the load security.

 

DVSA issues 2,000 prohibitions a year for insecure loads. Enforcement agencies see insecure loads as a priority road offence because it is so very dangerous. Drivers can receive three penalty points, but if referred to court then the potential fine is unlimited.

​

If a fleet vehicle with an unsafe load causes injury or death in a collision, the fleet operator is likely to be investigated and potentially held responsible, as well as the driver.

The individual load items or stacks being secured must weigh less than 400kg. You must not use buckle straps and internal nets to secure items or stacks weighing 400kg or over.

If the load does not fill the load bed, you should either:

  • secure the last row using a ratchet strap, with the load blocked to fill the gap

  • use buckle straps or an internal net to form a rear bulkhead

You can use buckle straps and internal nets as a secondary securing method in case the main securing method fails. They’re generally not as strong as other securing methods and may not be suitable for all loads.
