Secure loads app
Health and safety research and incident investigations establishment, the Health & Safety Laboratory, has developed a new smart phone application to help operators calculate the right number of straps needed to secure their load and comply with road traffic legislation. The app has been developed for Android and iOS devices and is now available via Google Play.
Based on the established European Standard EN 12195-1:2010, the app not only calculates how many straps are needed, but offers helpful hints and tips about other ways operators can improve load security.
HSL has also published two straightforward, jargon-free printed guides, which offer simple, straightforward advice on safe loading and transport in general haulage.
