What Is A Load Restraint Course in Perth?
In WA, securing a load correctly isn’t just common sense… It’s the law. Our secure cargo course covers the nationally recognised unit TLIA1001 Secure Cargo, providing you with the skills to lash, chain, and restrain freight and containers correctly.
Main Roads Western Australia enforce the rules around heavy vehicles, so you’ll learn what they expect on the road.
Load & Unload Cargo Unit (TLID0015)
Our course is now delivered alongside TLID0015 Load and Unload Goods/Cargo.
This additional unit ensures you’re not only confident in restraining loads, but also competent in safely loading and unloading freight in real workplace environments.
In this unit, you will learn how to:
- Safely load and unload goods from trucks, trailers, and containers
- Assess load stability before movement
- Use appropriate manual handling techniques and equipment
