Good & Bad Loading Examples

The difference between correct and incorrect loading is the difference between safety and an accident.

✅ Correct Loading

  • Incompatible substances are segregated per the segregation table.
  • Loads are secured and lashed to prevent shifting.
  • Hazard labels and orange plates are visible and correct.
  • Transport document and instructions in writing are kept in the vehicle.
  • Package integrity is checked; damaged packagings are not loaded.

⛔ Incorrect Loading

  • Oxidizers and flammables are stowed side by side.
  • Load is not secured; it shifts and topples under braking.
  • Labels are missing, torn or show the wrong class.
  • Orange plate is not fitted or the UN number is wrong.
  • Leaking or crushed packaging is loaded onto the vehicle.
