When dangerous goods are transported by road in receptacles with a capacity greater than 500 litres or net mass greater than 500 kilograms (> 500 L or kg), certain duties and requirements apply under the Dangerous Goods Safety (Road and Rail Transport of Non-explosives) Regulations 2007 and the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail (ADG) to ensure the goods are transported safely.
This Guide assists those transporting dangerous goods on Western Australian roads to comply with the relevant safety requirements for:
- road tank vehicles
- conventional vehicles that are provided with transportable tanks
- tank containers or intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) that are filled or emptied while on the vehicle.
