Show the answer

A rated restraint system suitable for the loadThis was the right answer

Use the load plan’s suitable rated restraints and anchorage points. Rope is not a suitable journey load restraint; it may attach a lightweight cover after the load itself is secure. A particular knot does not overcome rope’s uncertain capacity or deterioration.
