Résumé

"Dangerous goods" means: (a) a substance or article prescribed as dangerous goods; or (b) a substance or article determined by a Competent Authority in accordance with the regulations to be dangerous goods (sect. 3). Section 7 grants regulation making powers to the Governor. The Head of the Agency, within the meaning of the Tasmanian State Service Act 1984, is a Competent Authority for the purposes of this Act (sect. 9). If an authorized officer believes on reasonable grounds that: (a) a dangerous situation exists; and (b) a person is in a position to take measures to avert, eliminate or minimise the danger - the authorized officer may issue a notice requiring the person to take those measures (sect. 21). A person or a representative of a class of persons may apply to a Competent Authority for an exemption from compliance with a provision of the regulations in relation to the handling of particular dangerous goods (sect. 24).
