The quantity of dangerous goods being stored, handled and transported across the country continues to increase as economic activity in Western Australia remains strong, particularly in the mining and resources sector. With increased activity comes increased safety risk and more dangerous goods accidents. The three major areas for concern when it comes to dangerous goods safety are:
1. Explosives incidents
2. Storage and handling incidents
3. Transport incidents
Many of these incidents are caused by human error followed by mechanical or design failure and they result in the loss of product, damage to equipment, minor to serious injuries and in extreme cases fatalities. The aim of this conference is to explore the variety of dangerous goods incidents that occur locally and nationwide every year and to provide practices and strategies to prevent accidents and reduce the overall number of incidents. A strong focus on regulatory reforms, legislation and compliance will feature throughout this event as safety is paramount when dealing with hazardous substances and dangerous goods.
