Dangerous Goods Design Advice

Risk-based storage and handling design, from 20,000 L liquid oxygen tanks to the right spot for a 30 L cabinet.

Dangerous goods can be found in many locations and their safe storage and handling is critical to the prevention of incidents that cause serious harm to people, properties and the environment. There is legislation in every State and Territory for the safe storage and handling of dangerous goods along with an entire ecosystem of supporting Standards, Codes of Practice, Planning Controls and Guidelines.

Salus uses a risk assessment approach towards finding safe methods for the storage and handling of dangerous goods, from 20,000 L liquid oxygen tanks to the best location for a 30 L dangerous goods cabinet.
