When Do You Need A Dangerous Goods Manifest?
A Dangerous Goods (DG) Manifest is a document detailing the DGs stored at a site. The Manifest document is kept with other emergency information in an Emergency Information Container or box. This information is available for emergency services that may attend an emergency at the site.
Does your site need a DG Manifest?
If your site has any class of DGs in quantities that exceed ‘Manifest’ quantity per the state DG or WHS Regulations (see the summary table below), your site needs to have a DG Manifest.
If your site has DGs exceeding manifest quantity, your business will also need to:
Notify the state WHS regulator of your DGs (DG licence).
Prepare an emergency plan.
Display HAZCHEM placarding.
Request the fire authority for advice on your emergency plan.
For more information or assistance to prepare your DG documentation, please contact Safety Action.
