Load Smart: Preventing Common Cargo Securement Mistakes

Improperly secured loads are a common and preventable safety risk. Loose tools, shifting materials, and unsecured equipment can lead to tickets, damaged vehicles, lost work time, or serious crashes. Even small mistakes in cargo securement can have big consequences.

RCMP Constable Kevin Connolly, a commercial vehicle inspector, joins Road Safety at Work’s Amrit Minhas to share real-world examples of cargo securement mistakes frequently seen on work trucks and trailers. Focusing on smaller commercial vehicles, especially those used in construction and landscaping, they’ll offer practical tips crews can use to secure loads safely before heading out.
