The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has released several important updates in their latest newsletter. Of particular relevance to members are the newly introduced Load Restraint Guidelines. These guidelines encompass comprehensive loading guides, performance standards, and specific loading requirements.
The fourteen guides provide practical advice to help you understand and implement effective load restraint, ensuring safe and compliant loading practices. These resources are ideal for printing and displaying in your workplace or incorporating into loading manuals for quick reference. Designed to complement the Load Restraint Guide, they are tailored for all parties involved in the Chain of Responsibility (CoR).
