in a sound condition when starting to load
6.
ensuring the floor of the vehicle is not overstressed during
loading operations
7.
ensuring that the cargo is correctly distributed in the vehicle,
taking into account the load distribution on the vehicle axes and the
acceptable gaps (in the securing plan if available)
8.
ensuring that the vehicle is not overloaded
9.
ensuring that necessary additional equipment such as anti-slip
mats, stuffing and dunnage materials, blocking bars and all other securing
equipment that should be fixed during loading, are properly applied (according
to the securing plan if available)
10.
ensuring the vehicle is properly sealed if and when applicable
11.
ensure all lashing equipment is properly applied (according to
the securing plan if available)
12.
closing of the vehicle when applicable
Responsibilities/actions related to driving:
