| Issue Name | OOSC, Part II, Item 2. Cargo Securement, h. Dressed Lumber and Similar Building Products |
| Summary of Issue | Inspection rejected for citation of 393.118(d) for load securement of stacked building materials. Combination Vehicle was transporting 3 high stacks of Rebar Grid measuring 9ft in length, Missing a strap from the front, middle stack requiring 2 tiedowns per 393.118(d) reference back to 393.110b2ii. |
| Justification or Need | Need to clarify what constitutes a finished building product for applicability to 393.118. Controlling Inspection Agency (Maryland State Police) stated Rebar Grid does not fit into 393.118 because it is not lumber. |
| Request for Action | Could the Cargo Securement Harmonization Forum collectively discuss whether Rebar Grid (Rebar welded welded together in a grid formation for placement inside of concrete structure for structural support) would qualify as a finished building product or similar item? |
