When is placarding required?
The Dangerous Goods Safety Management legislation sets out the requirements for placarding and provides details on their form (e.g. size, content and layout) and location. Schedule 1 of the Regulation sets out the prescribed quantities (‘thresholds’) of stated dangerous goods and combustible liquids above which placards must be displayed. In general, placarding in the appropriate form is required where the quantities on site exceed any of the quantities listed in Column 3 of Schedule 1 of the Regulation – see www.emergency.qld.gov.
