Packaging, Handling and Movement of Materials

This Specification outlines the minimum requirements expected for the packaging and restraint of freight, and/or Cargo Carrying Units (CCU) and is to be used along with the National Transport Commission Load Restraint Guide 2nd Edition (2004).

The purpose of this Specification is to define standardised control measures for the safe packaging, handling and movement of materials onshore, as well as to/from offshore rigs and platform installations, where these requirements are not already defined in the above referenced NTC Guidance. This document is meant to clarify and add to the controls provided in that reference.
