What is the consequence of not securing the load properly during transport?

Not securing the load properly during transport directly increases the risk of cargo falling or shifting. When equipment and goods are not adequately secured, they can move around due to sudden stops, turns, or changes in speed. This movement can lead not only to loss of the cargo itself but also to hazards for the driver and other road users. Unsecured loads can become projectiles, potentially causing accidents or injuries. Proper load securement is essential for maintaining stability and balance during transportation, ensuring that the load remains in place throughout the journey, mitigating the risk of accidents, and protecting both the cargo and the safety of others on the road.
