Prime contractors have multiple responsibilities to ensure that dangerous goods are transported safely. This self-audit tool is a good starting point to evaluate your transport system.
This tool applies to the transport of packaged dangerous goods, not road tanker operations. Use the self-audit if transporting:
- packages less than 500 kg (or litres) capacity (e.g. 200 L drums, 25 L pails, 25 kg bags, cylinders, batteries)
- placardable units (e.g. IBCs, pressure drums, manifold cylinder packs, portable tanks).
