Helping Police Identify Dangerous Loads on the Road
Unsecured cargo can be deadly, yet many Traffic Officers receive no formal training in how to spot unsafe loads. (In fact, many drivers have not received formal load restraint training themselves. SpanSet bridges this gap with Load Security Awareness Training, helping officers learn how to visually assess and respond to load safety risks.
We've worked alongside police teams at live roadside inspections, offering technical insight into load restraint methods and common mistakes in transportation. Our training helps officers confidently recognise hazards and take appropriate action.
