CS184. All vehicles must have a written emergency action plan. The plan must cover procedures to be followed in case of fire, accident or traffic congestion. The plan must detail emergency contact numbers.
CS185. There must be a means of communication available for drivers of live animal transport vehicles e.g. mobile phone, radio etc. so that warning can be given of delays and problems where back-up is required.
CS186. Transport times are measured from the time the first animal is loaded into the vehicle or transport crate until the last animal is unloaded. These times must be accurately recorded in order for them to be audited.
CS187. Transporters must hold a valid driving licence for the vehicle they are driving and must be authorised by the appropriate authority (DEFRA in UK) to transport animals. Where no such authority exists (outside the EU) the standards of the Agriculture Requirements must be adhered to.

CS191. For those new to the industry or not experienced in the areas described in this Agriculture Requirements suitable training programmes must be put in place in order that the tasks required can be carried out competently.

CS192. All training programmes must be fully recorded and updated to reflect changes in legislation and working practices.
