Would it not be considered an insecure load so come under the land transport act, so would not be reportable to worksafe — Don Ramsay
Again it would potentially depend on if the incident happened during road transport (or after it was considered secured for transport) or during loading/unloading. It looks like there is a offense in the Land Transport act for failing to secure a load (and strict liability if you do fail to), but there seems to be no obligation in the act to specifically report a lost load to the regulator (NZTA or applicable RCA) so unless caught red handed you could get away with it.Would it not be considered an insecure load so come under the land transport act, so would not be reportable to worksafe — Don Ramsay

Is it significant? Yes
Are there learnings we could take from the event? Yes
