Twisted straps/bindings

• are grounds for removing wagons from trains

• are grounds for operators being investigated and held to account if detected by regulators during inspections

EN 12195 also stipulates that bindings should not be twisted.

Remedial action is expensive

And difficult to carry out since the ability to inspect the load is limited.
