TATSA February 2017

• My mission is to further what we started last year and make sure TATSA members all comply with minimum requirements. So the industry can recognize SAYTC (TATSA) members and we can get more credibility.
• Help smaller business with Safety Management system.
• Help members to understand and simplify the NPTR process by trying to get an inside contact and let them recognize TATSA (SAYTC).
• Represent TATSA members at EXCO and take our concerns and issues to the board.

Hendrik explained what was discussed at previous meeting such as: minimum requirements to be a TATSA member, Operating License board, Guide Insurance

Submission of documents for TATSA is important. Some companies haven’t submitted yet Why?

Tara offered to chat to companies who need assistance.

Johan stepped down as chair and Hendrik Human took over as chair.

application process has been a bit of a pain. Been following up where Johan left off and trying to build a relationship between us and the NPTR; tried to get somebody to come and talk to us, but only got as far as a list of requirements and forms from them. Hendrik will gladly share with you. Have 3 contacts: Julia, Percy and Rejoyce. Hendrik will gladly share their email addresses with you.

Hendrik has done two applications, one was vehicle transfer when he bought new vehicle; was quite frustrating because he had new vehicle standing at his office for weeks while process happened (Maybe 2-3 weeks waiting), would like to replace another vehicle, but he is awaiting this accreditation application before he commences. He also applied for accreditation beginning January. After several emails they came back to him saying if all goes well he will get feedback in March (Do not know when in MAR?)

What we need for accreditation:

• Form 2 A
• Proof of payment
• Signed statement which indicates commitment to comply with labour with regard to drivers and other staff
• certificate of incorporation
• Valid Tax Clearance Certificate
• Tax Pin
• Personal ID
• Certificate of fitness & Registration
• Copies of permits/operating licence of vehicle operated
• Recommendation letter in support of the application
• Statement of Oath – No previous convictions

Members to please contact Hendrik if they need any contact details or help with application. He has all documents required and can send to members.

Hannellie from SATSA said that all members should submit names of officers if they have any problems.

Guides and tour operators should report officers who are giving them problems for no good reason.

Only 21 of 66 TATSA members uploaded documents. Tara has uploaded a link to SAYTC website where companies can submit this and will re-send link to anyone who missed it.

EVERYONE to please upload docs. It only takes 5 minutes.

Members should talk to Hendrik or Tara and ask for help if they cannot submit documents.

One way of doing this is a Safety Management System (SMS).

What is a SMS? Identify all risks for clients. How to minimize the risk? Who is responsible for what in company? Where would your help come from? Emergency contact lists, Incident control centre, Emergency Management Procedures. etc

Hendrik will use his (SMS) to do a framework as an example for next meeting.

Zilé: City of Cape Town has emergency contact numbers if anything should happen: 021 4807700
