Approved by JAUPT and entitled ‘Practical Safe Loading’, the half-day practical and theory CPC course covers the essential skills required for safe loading, and addresses common potential loading errors which can lead to shifted, lost or badly damaged goods.
Don-Bur develops and manufactures its own load restraint and load bearing curtain solutions and the company sits on the Load Restraint Steering Committee, alongside other industry experts, steered by the HSE and DVSA.
A CPC course in safe loading practice not only forms part of the minimum driver CPC requirement, it may also minimise PG9 prohibitions and assist with operator compliance, says Don-Bur, adding that transport managers would also benefit from the content.
Richard Owens, marketing manager from Don-Bur, comments: “We were very keen to share our knowledge and experience and, combined with the RHA’s expertise, the partnership-produced CPC was the ideal way to formalise training content in a way that was both comprehensive and easy to understand.”
David Cooper, training manager at the RHA, adds: “The result of over six months’ work, this is a highly valuable course with truly unique content and we are proud to add it to our online library.”
