Any Sealink Card carrying truck driver that wants to work at APM Terminals Port Elizbeth must complete our Safety Induction Quiz to access the terminal. This is an effort to ensure that all drivers are educated on the APM Terminals safety policies in advance which should improve safety awareness and reduce potential violations.
Check the Safety Induction status of a driver by entering their Sealink # here. As the trucker safety induction is associated to a driver's Sealink #, please note that whenever a driver changes his/her Sealink # they must re-take the Safety Induction quiz. Driver's DO NOT have to retake the induction if they switch companies, as long as they keep the same Sealink number.
Instructions
- Download the Visitor HSSE app. (See box for links on this page) or visit the online HSSE Induction.
- App only: click the truck-driver icon (top of screen) after entering your Sealink # and Company
- Watch the safety video (≈11mins)
- Take the quiz. Once passed, you will receive confirmation
