The code for lashing a load

LOAD SPILLAGE is less apparent now than it was, say, ten years ago. Driver traning in sheeting and roping has contributed much in this respect.
However, new methods of packaging are more vulnerable to damage where ropes are used. Whereas crated and cartoned loads can stand up to rope friction, shrink wrapped and palletised cargoes require more sophisticated treatment.
Webbing has become extremely popular for this type of cargo in the past few years and not only in respect of its non-cutting qualities. Drivers find that tensioning devices are easier and more quickly handled than lashing and tying using dollies.
Nevertheless, this system, although sophisticated, is still very much in its infancy and the 11 members of the Association of Webbing Load Restraint Equipment Manufacturers have published an application code and a check list of do's and don'ts for drivers guidance. We reproduce them here and separate driver pamphlets are available from the Association at Columbia House, 69 Aldwych, London WC2B 40Y
