Product Overview
The Dangerous Goods Transport Plan is a professionally developed, fully editable WHS document designed specifically for Australian businesses that transport, handle or store dangerous goods in transit. Whether you operate heavy vehicles in transport and logistics, move fuel and explosives for mining operations, cart chemicals on farms, or ship flammable liquids from a manufacturing plant, this plan provides a clear, practical framework to manage dangerous goods safely and compliantly.
This document translates complex dangerous goods and work health and safety requirements into straightforward procedures, checklists and responsibilities. It is structured to align with Australian legislation and the ADG Code, helping you demonstrate due diligence, protect workers and the public, and reduce the risk of costly incidents, regulatory action and downtime.
Key Features
- Comprehensive WHS-focused dangerous goods transport framework covering planning, loading, transport, unloading and storage-in-transit.
- Clearly defined roles and responsibilities for officers, managers, supervisors, drivers, contractors and load planners.
- Detailed guidance on risk assessment, segregation, load restraint, placarding and documentation.
- Practical checklists for pre-loading, pre-departure, unloading and implementation of the plan.
- Emergency preparedness and response procedures tailored to Australian road, site and remote area conditions.
- Suitable for integration into existing safety management systems and safety documentation.
Benefits
- Supports WHS compliance and dangerous goods transport obligations under Australian law.
- Reduces the likelihood and consequences of spills, fires, exposures and vehicle incidents.
- Saves time by providing a ready-to-use, industry-aligned template rather than starting from scratch.
- Improves consistency across depots, mine sites, farms, warehouses and transport fleets.
- Helps demonstrate due diligence to regulators, clients and insurers through structured safety documentation.
- Strengthens worker confidence through clear procedures, training expectations and emergency instructions.
