NTDA a step closer to mandatory member roadside breakdown registration scheme
The NTDA Executive Council’s decision to proceed with a plan to encourage tyre technicians to carry a “licence to fit” means the concept is a step closer to being enacted. The licence to fit programme is currently being developed by a group of association members and the NTDA directorate and will include a requirement that fitters attending truck tyre breakdowns on the roadside will be “suitably trained, through a variety of qualifications, to work safely in the dangerous environment of a roadside breakdown.”
While the scheme is still under development, the NTDA says the scheme should be ready to roll out to the membership “in the coming months.” The association’s council decided at its meeting last month that the scheme will become a membership requirement following a run-in period, the details of which will be agreed at their next meeting in October.
