  • National Environmental Management Act 107 of 1998 (NEMA) and the National Water Act for spill response.
  • Major Hazard Installation Regulations where applicable to depots.

2. Supplier & transporter obligations

Maintain valid DG permits, TREMcards, fire suppression, earthing, bonding and personal protective equipment. Provide driver fatigue management and route risk assessments for every load.

3. Buyer-site obligations

Buyers must provide a bunded receiving area, fire extinguisher (DCP minimum 9 kg) within 5 m, no naked flames within 15 m, a clear emergency egress route, and an authorised receiver trained in pump-off procedures.
