Overview

Cargo securement, also known as load securing, is the process of properly securing cargo for transportation to prevent accidents, damage, and environmental hazards. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) provide guidelines and regulations for cargo securement. Companies like DHL and Maersk have implemented robust cargo securement protocols to minimize risks and ensure compliance with regulations. Improperly secured cargo contributes to pollution and waste.
