Description of the Subject - International Guidelines on Safe Load Securing for Road Transport (IRU)

A correct stow is essential to avoid accidents, both on the road and in the loading and unloading process of a lorry.

A lorry that carries loads incorrectly represents a real danger that must be avoided, even making the vehicle overturn.

According to the European Union, 25% of the Road Transport accidents are related to the improper restraint and / or load distribution in a lorry.

In order to stow correctly, it is necessary an adapted lorry, an special restraining methods (lock, wood runners, belts, fixings, tensioners, nets, ropes) and an optimum load distribution (mass distribution)

Those responsible for the foreign trade of an export company (export manager, area managers...) should know the International Guidelines on Safe Load Securing of the International Road Transport Union (IRU) to be able to stow the cargo safely, avoiding possible accidents, delays, damage to the goods, etc.

The United Nations Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR) does not define the mandatory packaging requirements. However, if the cargo is not properly packed or stowed, it exonerates the carrier from any liability in case of damage or loss.
