What is Convey Dangerous Goods by Road Compliance Training?
Convey Dangerous Goods by Road Compliance Training in South Africa is a mandatory program for drivers and personnel involved in the transport of hazardous substances on public roads. This training ensures compliance with South Africa’s National Road Traffic Act and Regulations for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods, which align with SANS 10231, SANS 10232, and other South African National Standards (SANS).
Most vehicles used for the Carriage of Dangerous Goods tend to be fairly new and well maintained, as many have to pass not only an annual standard test but in many cases also an annual inspection to gain approval for transporting dangerous goods. However, many vehicles and drivers stopped at roadside checks are missing some basic but very important safety requirements.
