Summary:

The Act controls the transport of dangerous goods by road or rail.

Summary of obligations


Most producers would not normally transport sufficient quantities of dangerous goods to be
concerned with this legislation. However, if a large volume of a dangerous chemical is
transported, a manifest providing details of the substance(s) being transported must be carried
in the cab of the vehicle.

Note: this Act is set to be repealed once the Dangerous Goods Safety Act 2004 comes into operation.
