An example of specialist load restraint guidelines is the Timber Transport Forum guide to roundwood loads. This emphasises the driver's primary responsibility for securing the cargo and warns that cross-loading (sawn ends pointing towards the side raves) is no longer allowed, while straps or chains should be tested and marked with the appropriate strength rating.
It also provides information on bearers, bulkheads and stanchions, differentiates between barked and unbarked woods (unbarked is more slippery) and stresses the need for self-loading crane jibs to be secured separately in case of hydraulic or component failure.
Similar guidelines exist for the paper and steel sectors.
