Submissions open for review of dangerous goods act
Submissions are now open for the Victorian State Government review of the Dangerous Goods Act 1985 with serious implications for the construction industry and its suppliers.
The statement headline reads:
Do Victoria’s dangerous goods laws effectively promote safety and ensure the effective management of dangerous goods? Share your views by making a submission.
//
The impetus for this review, of course, is in response to the serious mis-management/storage and disposal of waste in recent years that has resulted in massive contamination issues and horrible industrial fires/incidents. The issue now is how the government responds and whether the new legislation has unintended consequences for the broader construction industry and its suppliers.
