Hazardous Material Regulations

The Hazardous Material Regulations require industry to seek input from the fire service if specified quantities of Hazardous Materials are exceeded. NFA can provide expert advice on matters relating to:

  • Placarding (signage and identification of Dangerous Goods)
  • Fire protection
  • Emergency Management Planning

Our Structural Fire Safety Unit inspects premises with Dangerous Goods to ensure that:

  • Fire prevention and protection measures are suitable for the goods
  • Signs are present in accordance with legislation
  • The site has emergency management plans when necessary
  • The site has a manifest in a box at the gate when required
