Certification

At Pindulo, we are committed to safety and sustainability in transporting goods, so we have adopted the Road Transport Management System (RTMS) as part of our operations. The RTMS is a self-regulation initiative for the South African road transport industry that aims to improve road safety, reduce road damage, and increase productivity.

Implementing the RTMS helps Pindulo offer customers a safer and more sustainable transportation service backed by reduced vehicle maintenance costs, improved driver morale and performance, and increased efficiency and productivity.

Pindulo’s Atmospheric Emission Licence (AEL) is critical to our operations, as it ensures that we comply with the regulations related to air quality management in South Africa.

Our facility in Saldanha can store over 9.4 million tonnes of mineral ores per annum, in bulk, in our warehouses. To ensure that we meet the regulatory requirements, Pindulo has a team of air quality specialists who interpret the implications of air pollution regulations and their applicability to our operations in a systematic way.

Pindulo’s commitment to complying with AEL regulations ensures that we operate in a manner that is safe and sustainable  – for both the environment and the communities we serve.

At Pindulo, safety is our top priority when transporting goods. This is why we work closely with the Railway Safety Regulator (RSR) to obtain and maintain our RSR Permit, which is critical to our operations.

The RSR’s mission is to promote safe railway operations in South Africa through appropriate support, monitoring, and enforcement, guided by an enabling regulatory framework. As a railway transport operator, Pindulo recognises that the RSR plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of our operations and the railway system as a whole.

The RSR oversees the safety of railway transport in South Africa and promotes improved safety performance to encourage the use of rail. They monitor and ensure compliance by conducting audits, inspections, and occurrence investigations. Additionally, the RSR develops regulations and cooperates with other state organs to effectively manage safe railway operations. The RSR also works to harmonise South Africa’s railway safety regime with other SADC countries.

By working with the RSR and maintaining our RSR Permit, Pindulo can assure our customers of the safety and reliability of our rail transportation services. We are committed to upholding the highest safety and regulatory compliance standards in everything we do.
