Cargo tie-down system

A safety sheet cargo tie-down system (110) comprises a substantially rectangular safety sheet (112), and four securing straps (124-127) which are fixedly secured to corner regions (128, 130, 132, 134) of the substantially rectangular safety sheet (112) upon the forwardly disposed surface (111) thereof. The securing straps are effectively brought around such corner regions to the rearwardly disposed surface (113) so as to form a pair of securing straps arranged within a criss-crossed X-shaped array or arrangement. Each pair of securing straps has a slip-type fastener fixedly secured upon one free end portion of one of the securing straps, and the free end portion of the other one of the securing straps is passed through such fastener. In this manner, as each pair of securing straps is tightened, the safety sheet (112) is properly secured with respect to cargo load barrels or drums.
