Sydney Ports Corporation (SPC) has a responsibility under the legislation to control the conditions under which dangerous goods are handled and/or kept in the defined port operational areas. Sydney Ports draws on information and advice from the following:
- Australian Standard 3846 – 2005 “The Handling and Transport of Dangerous Cargoes in Port Areas”
The basic safety precautions applicable to the handling of explosives in port areas are described in “Explosive in Port Areas” (June 2007).
Dangerous Goods are substances and articles that:
- Satisfy the UN tests and criteria for determining whether they are dangerous goods: or
- Are listed in the IMDG Code; or
- Are determined to be dangerous goods by the competent authority.
To facilitate and improve the handling of dangerous good within port areas we are offering users access to a UN Number look up tool to enable rapid and precise identification during transport to ensure the correct handling, stowage, and segregation of goods.
