Risk Assessment Description:

This free container securing and seal control risk assessment template is designed for logistics, freight forwarding and warehouse operators. Use this template for securing containers on ships, trucks or rail, for applying and inspecting seals, and for ensuring cargo remains intact during transport. It covers common hazards such as load shift, seal failure, over‑loading, manual handling injuries and weather‑related risks, providing pre‑filled control measures that you can customise to your operation.

The container securing risk assessment includes detailed steps for proper lashings, inspection of chains and straps, correct weight distribution and seal verification. It also addresses container seal control procedures to prevent cargo loss, theft and contamination, meeting standards like the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing and ISO 17712 for high‑security seals.

Use this template for:

  • Securing containers on vessels, trucks and rail wagons — ensure loads are properly restrained and balanced.
  • Applying and inspecting high‑security seals — maintain seal integrity and traceability.
  • Training new staff on safe container handling — provide clear guidance on equipment use and procedures.

Each identified risk includes suggested control measures covering equipment checks, procedural safeguards and environmental considerations. The template is fully editable and shareable — customise hazards, add site‑specific controls, and download as a PDF for on‑site use.

Compliant with: IMO Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing, ISO 17712, HSE Manual for Freight Handling, and relevant national transport regulations.
