All the aspects that could increase the likelihood of dangerous chemical or petroleum transportation disasters occurring are discussed. the preparedness of emergency services is discussed. Improvements or changes required to minimize this possibility are recommended. The training and ability of vehicle drivers are discussed at length. Forthcoming regulations under the Hazardous Substances Act No. 15 of 1973 are examined and the effects of over-restrictive legislation considered. It is concluded that legislation promulgated gradually to reinforce voluntary industrial practices will ultimately restrict this type of transport to the safety-conscious and competent operator, therefore minimizing the risk as much as possible.
