Load Restraint Course

Facilitated by our expert trainers, this course aligns with the nationally recognised unit of competencies: TLID0015 – Load and Unload Goods/Cargo and TLIA1001 – Secure Cargo.

Load and Unload Goods/Cargo

• Load characteristics are identified and taken into account when determining appropriate loading and unloading workplace procedures.
• Job hazards are identified, and required action is taken to minimise, control or eliminate identified hazards.
• Dangerous or hazardous cargo is identified and handled in accordance with the current Australian Dangerous Goods (ADG) code and other relevant regulations/permit requirements.
• Load is packed/unpacked to make safe and effective use of available spaces.
• Goods/cargo are loaded in accordance with relevant mass and loading regulations and workplace procedures.
• Lifting aids and appliances are selected and used to aid loading procedures in accordance with workplace procedures and safety legislation.
• Unloading activities are conducted in a safe and efficient manner, taking into account suitable locations, stowage, safe use of equipment and balance of remaining load.
• Goods requiring special handling and/or documentation are identified, and workplace procedures are followed.
• Relocated material is re-stacked appropriately for transport method, safe height, weight loading, size and crushability of goods.

Secure Cargo and Protect Load

• Load distribution is checked to ensure it is even, legal and within a safe working capacity.
• Load is checked to ensure dangerous goods and hazardous substances are appropriately segregated in accordance with current ADG Code.
• Load is secured using correct load restraint and protection equipment for different loads, carrying and storage conditions.
• Load is protected in accordance with legal and workplace safety requirements.

Load Documentation

• Load is inspected and checked for security to travel, in accordance with relevant regulations/permit requirements and current ADG code as required.
• Ensure the successful completion of all required goods documentation in accordance with workplace requirements, including current ADG code, as required.

After the successful completion, you will receive a Load Restraint Certificate that indicates the Statement of Attainment as recognised under the Australian Qualifications Framework. This is a nationally recognised certification issued by Harness Energy (RTO 40521).

The Load Restraint Certification ‘Statement of Attainment’ is for the Nationally Accredited Units of Competency:

• TLID0015 – Load and Unload Goods/Cargo
• TLIA1001 – Secure Cargo

The Load Restraint Certificate confirms that participants possess the skills necessary to secure, load, and unload cargo. For those in operational roles, this certificate requires employer documentation to verify safety and compliance, ensuring all goods are prepared for stable and legal transportation.

NOTE: TLID0015 replaces and is equivalent to TLID2004. TLIA1001 is the equivalent replacement for TLIA1001A.
