About this Segregation of Dangerous Goods Chart
This segregation of dangerous goods chart can be used as a guide for what dangerous goods should be segregated, as some dangerous goods have the potential to react violently if they are mixed together.
Note: Legal obligations do not permit incompatible dangerous goods to be on a transport vehicle or stored together. To avoid possible reactions between the dangerous goods or reduce the risk of accidental leakage or spillage, the goods must be separated from each other by a minimum distance and only be permitted within their compatibility groups.
Dangerous goods are classified based on immediate physical or chemical effects, such as fire, explosion, corrosion and poisoning. When handling, using or storing dangerous goods, the following safety precautions must be followed:
- Management must research legal requirements and secure any licenses or permits that are required.
- All dangerous goods must not be loaded transported or stored be stored outside of the statutory obligations.
- All dangerous goods / hazardous materials must be segregated from incompatible materials, heat or gas and where a fire or a dangerous occurrence is foreseeable.
- Access to work areas where bulk dangerous goods are stored and used must be restricted.
- Where hazard classes are stored, approved placards must be placed at entrances and any other location required to meet statutory obligations.
