Dangerous goods and scheduled toxic substances were transferred to the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms (HSNO) regime.
Transferred substances and their classifications and controls
If you are involved in manufacturing, selling, storing, using or disposing dangerous goods or scheduled toxic substances then you will need to know the classifications and controls applied to these substances. The controls detail what you need to do to be compliant with the law under the HSNO Act.
This information is available from the Hazardous Substances Register.
