IRU Accreditation - Safe Loading and Cargo Securing



We have now obtained IRU accreditation status in Safe Loading and Cargo Securing as per guidelines for the international safe load securing for road transport. 

The HSA and the IRU have worked in conjunction with each other to draw up these guidelines for the safe movement and securing of loads for road transport throughout Europe. 

We are the first transport company to achieve this status in Ireland and the UK 

Well done to everyone involved for their hard work and effort in securing this accreditation.
