What are dangerous goods in freight transport?
Dangerous goods are materials or substances that pose a risk to health, safety, property, or the environment during transport. In Australia, these include flammable liquids (e.g., fuel), toxic substances, corrosives, explosives, and gases. These goods are categorised into nine classes under the Australian Dangerous Goods (ADG) Code, which dictates how they must be packaged, labelled, and transported. Transporting dangerous goods requires trained operators, certified vehicles, and specific documentation to comply with national regulations.
Do I need a licence to transport dangerous goods in Australia?
Yes, drivers must hold a current Dangerous Goods Driver Licence to legally transport regulated materials by road in Australia. This licence ensures the driver has completed certified training in handling, securing, and responding to incidents involving dangerous goods. In addition, the vehicle used must also be licensed and properly equipped to carry hazardous freight. Businesses must also maintain safety data sheets, emergency plans, and ensure their transport practices align with the ADG Code.
What safety measures are required during dangerous goods transport?
Transporting dangerous goods requires a combination of vehicle safety, driver training, documentation, and route planning. Loads must be clearly labelled with the correct hazard class and UN number, and carried in secure, leak-proof containers. Vehicles must be equipped with emergency kits, spill containment tools, and fire extinguishers. During transit, operators must follow approved travel routes and time restrictions, particularly when moving explosives or high-risk chemicals. Pre-trip safety inspections and compliance checks are essential to avoid breaches or accidents.
