Load Restraint There has been recent media coverage suggesting the use of regular rope would be prohibited when the Chain of Responsibility (CoR) legislation was implemented on 27 April 2015. This is incorrect and has led to an increase in public and transport industry enquiries being received by Main Roads. Main Roads continues to provide correct information in response to this.
The Regulations associated with the Chain of Responsibility legislation were proclaimed on 27 April 2015.
There is no change to the National Transport Commission Load Restraint Guide provisions. Existing restraint methods are still acceptable, providing they meet performance standards detailed in the Guide.
A vehicle operator must still ensure the load is correctly restrained using the appropriate restraint relevant to the transport task.
The new Road Traffic (Vehicles) Regulations 2014 still refer to the Load Restraint Guide Second Edition 2004, as per current Regulations.
