Hazmat Cargo Securement 49Cfr 393

Hazmat cargo securement extends 49 CFR 393 with hazmat-specific concerns.

Standard rules (49 CFR 393)

• Aggregate working load limit ≥ 50% cargo weight
• Tiedown count by commodity
• Anti-shifting, anti-rolling

Hazmat-specific

• Cylinders: upright unless cradle design, valve protection
• Drums: bunged-down, secured to prevent shifting
• IBCs: stacking restrictions, weight distribution
• Bulk tank: not 'securing' but 'maintaining' load — baffles, bonding

Common findings

Cylinders horizontal without proper cradle. Drums shifted in trailer during transport. Inadequate securement of stacked IBCs.
