National regulations require that vehicles transporting dangerous goods have documentation outlining

Written by: Save to Instapaper
{pp}Are you aware that national and international regulations require that the drivers of vehicles transporting dangerous goods have documentation outlining the hazards and precautions for the goods in the load that they are transporting? Transport Emergency Cards (TRECs) fill this requirement. The requirements for TRECs are outlined in SABS Standard Number SANS 10231 (Operational Requirements) and SANS 10232-4, Transport of Dangerous Goods Emergency Information Systems, Part 4 - Transport Emergency Card, which are taken up in the regulations. It is therefore a transgression by law for the driver not to have a TREC in his possession.

Trek Card (Pty) Ltd was established to produce online, Transport Emergency Cards that are required by law for the transportation of dangerous goods.

Until recently only the CEFIC TREMCARD was allowed to be used for the transportation of dangerous goods in SA. Amendments to South African standards and the introduction of a new standard now allows for the use of a South African Transport Emergency Card (TREC) in accordance with the new South African standard SANS 10232-4. Trek Card (Pty) Ltd has taken care to produce TRECs in conformance with that standard.
