Hazardous Substances and Dangerous Goods

Danger Sign Truck-resized-600A hazardous substance is one that, upon exposure, can have an adverse effect on health worker health. These include poisons, substances that cause burns or skin and eye irritation, and substances that may cause cancer.

Dangerous goods are substances, mixtures or articles that, because of their physical, chemical or acute toxicity, present an immediate hazard to those who come in contact with them, property or the environment. These include chemically reactive or highly toxic substances, explosives, corrosives and flammable liquids and gases. Many hazardous substances are also classified as dangerous goods.

A substance is a hazardous substance if it meets the classification criteria specified in the Approved Criteria for Classifying Hazardous Substances [NOHSC:1008(2004)]. A substance is a dangerous good if it meets the criteria contained in the Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road and Rail (ADG Code). The ADG Code contains a list of substances classified as dangerous goods.
