Following feedback from the road transport industry the LRG has been entirely reformatted. It is now published in colour and is more user friendly. While particularly relevant for drivers and operators, it is also useful for vehicle designers and other participants in the transport chain.
The LRG continues to provide basic safety principles and details the performance standards that should be followed for the safe carriage of loads on road vehicles. It also offers clarity on technical complexities and general principles, and how to test load restraint systems.
The revised Load Restraint Guide is now available from Motor Registries or by phoning 13 22 13.
More information is available from the National Transport Commission of Australia website.
