licence renewalWhat can you do with WRMS
1) Register & de-register vehicles and equipment
Interface with Land Transport Authority (LTA) and SAC Accredited
Workshops
o Not required to submit log card and inspection report
For hook-lift trucks and equipment (OTCs, Compactor, PWCS
Container), system will send reminders at a stipulated frequency before
the certification expires.
2) Update and submit drivers and crew information
Interface with SkillsFuture Singapore (SSG)
o Not required to submit WSQ certificate
3) Open Disposal Account to facilitate disposal activities at the
Incineration Plants/Landfill
4) Submit UCO Quarterly Declaration (For GWC Class B.1)WRMS Implementation Relevant user guides will be prepared and training sessions will be conducted. Information will be disseminated closer to the launch of WRMS.
