{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.
