Loads that shift, spill or fall from a vehicle injure people and shut down roads. This online course teaches drivers, loaders and dispatchers the core cargo securement rules in National Safety Code (NSC) Standard 10 and how to apply them on every trip.

What learners cover:

• The forces a securement system must withstand (0.8 g forward, 0.5 g rearward and sideways)
• The aggregate working load limit (WLL) rule, with a hands-on load calculator
• The minimum number of tie-downs by article length and weight
• Spotting damaged tie-downs and taking them out of service
• When to inspect and re-check cargo during a trip
• An overview of the commodity-specific rules for logs, metal coils, heavy equipment and more

Format: self-paced and interactive, with real-world scenarios and a 10-question knowledge check (80% to pass). Learners who pass get a certificate of completion they can download right away, and their score and completion date are kept on file.

About 25 minutes.
