Is a hazardous substance “register” the same as a dangerous goods “manifest”?
No. A hazardous substances “register” is for the use of persons in the workplace who are potentially exposed to hazardous substances and for the person in control to keep track of the hazardous substances they have in their workplace. A dangerous goods “manifest” is for the use by emergency services so they know what flammables, explosives, corrosives, toxics, etc are stored on the premises in the event of an emergency such as a fire or chemical spill. The “manifest” is normally kept in a locked container at the main entrance to the premises. More information on dangerous goods requirements is available from the Resources Safety Division of the Department of Mines and Petroleum.
