Updated load safety code of practice launched by DVSA and HSE

We’ve worked with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and industry stakeholders to publish an updated code of practice on load security.

It will help vehicle operators, drivers and those involved in the loading of a vehicle to understand their responsibilities when transporting different loads and how to make them safe.

The code of practice replaces all other load security guidance previously published on GOV.UK.

You can view the Code of Practice: Safety of Loads on Vehicles on GOV.UK.
