FTA has published a best practice guide for transport managers to safely securing loads in vans.
FTA policy director James Hookham says the publication is also aimed at reducing the incidences of overloading – still the most common offence in the LCV sector.
"We wanted to fill the void in guidance, with meaningful advice, based on realistic data – not only to improve the safety of drivers and passengers, but also to remove any legal ambiguities, so that operators know exactly where they stand," says Hookham.
