Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
The requirements contained in this presentation applies to ICs, their Subcontractors and any subsequent Vendors and Suppliers when delivering goods to ECC project locations (including warehouses).
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
Responsibilities
JV and IC Management are responsible for ensuring that transport activities within their control are managed in accordance with the requirements of this procedure.
IC Management are responsible for ensuring that transport activities undertaken by themselves or any of their subcontractors within the scope of their contracts and sub-contracts are managed in accordance with the requirements contained of this procedure.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
IC / Subcontractor Management are responsible for:
• Ensuring that the vehicles that are used to transport cargo and equipment are appropriate and fit for service;
• Ensuring that drivers are provided with the skills and equipment necessary to secure their loads prior to taking to the road.
Drivers are ultimately responsible for ensuring that the loads that they carry are secure prior to arriving at ECC.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
Restraining of Loads
• Every load shall be restrained. The restraint system shall be strong enough to restrain the load without any movement during all expected conditions of operation.
NO LASHING shall be removed until final destination is reached and vehicle is stopped.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
Tie-Down Lashings
Lashings shall be one of two types of material:
• Steel chain not less than 13 mm (1/2 inch) in thickness with grab, winged or claw hooks,
• Two 10 mm steel chain may be used in place of one 13mm in thickness steel chain with grab, winged or claw hooks.
• Webbing straps of 50 mm width or greater.
Cargo netting is also acceptable as a secondary restraint when the load is large enough not to pass through the netting.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
• Ropes shall not be used to lash, tie down or restrain loads except on light vehicles.
• Steel chain shall not be used to restrain steel pipes or tubular - webbing straps shall be used.
• Hydraulic lifting arms shall not be used as a means to restrain a load
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
Lashings cont’d
• Tie-down web lashings shall be sufficiently tensioned to provide adequate downward restraint and prevent sideways / frontal / rearward movement.
• Pipes and tubulars shall be restrained by webbing-minimum of four web straps of 4-inch/100 mm width, and minimum of four stanchions / side stakes per side (8 in total).
• Steel chains shall not be used to secure steel pipes or tubulars.

Lashing Material

Hand Ratchet Winch
Steel Chains
Webbing with two knots tied to repair breaks used to
tie on a tall crate, and a second webbing belt showing
severe damage. Both are unfit for use.

Web Lashing Safety Issues:
Hand Ratchet (part of web lashing assembly)
• When using a hand ratchet winch,
the operator shall not stand on the
vehicle/trailer, or load.

Types of load shifting
There are a number of reasons that loads can
shift while the vehicle is moving.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
BrakingThe load can slide forward when the vehicle brakes while
driving forward, or accelerates in reverse direction.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
AcceleratingThe load can shift backwards when the vehicle accelerates
forward or brakes while moving in reverse direction.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
CorneringThe load can easily shift sideways when cornering.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
Road gradientsWhen travelling over or hilly roads / surfaces, or when the
road surface is sloped in any direction, the load can shift
easily, even if the vehicle is stationary.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
Air flowWhen the vehicle is travelling at high speed or under windy
conditions, lightweight loads, loads with large wind facing
areas, or loads in the form of sheets can dislodge from the
vehicle.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
Rough road surface
When a vehicle is travelling over rough surfaces such as a graded road, an unsecured load can shift or fall off the vehicle due to vibration.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
Correct choice of vehicles
Open vehicles designed for carrying loose bulk material (e.g.sand or earth)
must be fitted with a cover if there is a possibility of any of the load blowing
or falling off.

Lashing Loads with Dunnage
Dunnage is packing material placed between portions of the
load and between the load and vehicle. Wooden dunnage is
often used to facilitate the loading and unloading of material
by a forklift or slings.

Lashing Positions Lashing Positions
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
GRP pipe stacked on sculpted dunnage, positioned close to headboard, web lashing correctly placed at dunnage point, tensioned with truck winches, stanchions in place.

In this accident
It is clear that
the truck did
not have a head
board to protect
the driver.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
Chocks Chocks are blocks or wedges
of either solid material, or
specially manufactured of steel
or composite-material with
holes through which securing
chains can be passed.
Adequate use of chocks
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
Nested pipesEach layer of pipe must be as close to the headboard as possible. If a space is required to permit hook access keep this gap as narrow as possible. The upper layer of pipes must have a portion of each pipe beneath the top of the headboard.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
Pipes and Tubulars
Tie-down lashings shall be sufficiently tensioned to provide adequate downward restraint and prevent lateral movement.
Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
Badly loaded pipes, insufficiently restrained and lashed. Stanchions too weak for adequate sideways support.
Used pipe slipping off trailer, oil covered load, insufficient tie down.
Extra care needs to be taken when transporting and securing used pipe / tubulars that contain oil residues.

Restraint for packsRestraint for packs
Restraint for Bags (sand / cement)
• Bags shall be transported in trailers
with headboards, secured by tie-down
web lashings and cargo-nets.
• When high-sided cage trailers
are used, cargo nets are
not required.

Safe Lashing / Securing of Loads
Effective use of headboard, webbing, stanchions and cargo
netting to secure a trailer of general cargo. Note that sacks and
drums are all banded to pallets.

The cylinders must be kept vertical, whether empty or full.
Incorrect way of transporting gas cylinders.
