Banding Safety

For many freight carriers, loads must be secured to prevent shipping damage. Proper securing is especially important for uneven and bulky loads that are placed in semi-trucks. Unsecured loads can cause the truck to be imbalanced, which could potentially cause an incident while the truck is moving or being unloaded. This course will provide an overview of banding safety, and the practices a material handler will need to remain safe when banding and un-banding loads.
