Objectives

The primary objective is to equip designated employees with comprehensive theoretical knowledge and practical competencies to safely identify, handle, store, respond to, and manage hazardous materials in both routine workplace operations and emergency scenarios.

Scope

• Delivery of face-to-face Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) training at a designated Johannesburg City Parks and Zoo facility.
• Training targets forty delegates, split into two groups, over a total duration of two days.
• Curriculum covers hazard recognition, safe handling and storage protocols, emergency response procedures, risk mitigation, and coordination with external emergency responders.
• Mandatory integration of workplace-specific practical exercises simulating real incident conditions.
• Provider must submit participant assessments, certificates of successful completion, a formal training evaluation report, proof of relevant accreditation, and detailed facilitator qualifications.

Technical Requirements

• Valid, verifiable accreditation specifically authorising the provider to conduct HAZMAT training.
• Complete and submit the prescribed Bill of Quantities (BOQ) with firm pricing inclusive of all taxes and delivery costs.
• Submit mandatory compliance documentation: standard municipal bidding forms (MBD 1, 3.1, 4, 6.1, 8, and 9), a valid Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA) letter of good standing, Central Supplier Database (CSD) registration number, tax compliance verification, and proof of director residence.
• Quotations must remain valid for thirty days from the closing date.
• Evaluation follows an 80/20 preferential scoring model: eighty points for price competitiveness, ten points for businesses that are fifty-one percent or more women-owned, and ten points for entities operating within the City of Johannesburg jurisdiction.

Skills Requirements

• Facilitators must hold recognised qualifications in occupational health and safety training with proven expertise in hazardous material management.
• Delegates must achieve measurable competencies including accurate hazard identification, correct selection and use of personal protective equipment, implementation of containment and decontamination procedures, execution of emergency evacuation and first-response protocols, and proper incident documentation and reporting.
• Practical sessions must be contextually aligned with the operational environment of municipal parks and zoo facilities, ensuring relevance to daily workflows and potential spillage or exposure events.
