You may comply with this code of practice if your business stores or handles dangerous goods. This code of practice provides practical guidance on how to comply with your obligations under Victoria's occupational health and safety legislation for the safe storage and handling of dangerous goods. Dangerous goods are substances that may be corrosive, flammable, explosive, spontaneously combustible, toxic, oxidising, or water-reactive.
Compliance with this code is not mandatory. If you have not complied with the code, it will be up to you to show that you have met the relevant legal requirements by an alternative method.
