Lost Loads continue to be a significant health and safety hazard within our and every industry involving transportation, loading and unloading of materials, tools and equipment.
Across suppliers and maintainers to Highways England, there have been numerous incidents in recent years involving lost loads on the strategic road network, putting the travelling public and workforce at risk of significant injury.
