Australian Dangerous Goods Code

The Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG Code) sets safety standards for the transport of hazardous materials across Australia. It defines how dangerous goods—substances that could pose risks like fire, explosion, or health hazards—must be classified, packaged, labeled, and documented. The goal is to ensure safe handling and transit, protecting people, property, and the environment. Compliance with the code is essential for businesses involved in the transport of hazardous materials, helping to prevent accidents and ensuring consistent safety practices nationwide.
