The HAZCHEM Code system has been adopted by all States in Australia for bulk dangerous substances transport, generally through adoption of the Commonwealth Government publication titled Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail. In South Australia this document is given the force of law via the Dangerous Substances Act 1979 as amended.
The HAZCHEM Code for the dangerous substances carried must appear as part of the information displayed on Emergency Information Panels fitted to all vehicles transporting dangerous substances in bulk, (generally tankers - see diagram above).
STORAGE
The HAZCHEM Code system has also been adopted for use at workplaces where dangerous substances above certain quantities are kept.
Its purpose is the same as that for transport ie to provide the emergency service with immediate action advice in combating any incident involving dangerous substances.
