Dangerous Goods Compliance
Find Help Guaranteeing Your Business Meets Dangerous Goods Compliance
If your business handles any dangerous goods, compliance with regulations regarding their handling and storage is essential. Not only will you likely need to meet the requirements of periodic audits or submit reports detailing what you do to protect those goods, but compliance — or the lack thereof — has real-world consequences, too. Whether you need to prepare to submit your annual Essential Safety Measures (ESM) report or you have other requirements set by the local council or government to meet, these efforts take time. That is often time you do not have as a business owner. Did you know the government allows you to authorise an agent to complete these reports on your behalf? With Geokal Services, it is easy to save time without sacrificing safety.
The Importance of Ensuring Dangerous Goods Compliance
Everyone should want to take care to see that any dangerous goods have the proper conditions for storage, transport, or use. Unfortunately, bad actors in many industries cut corners to save costs or time without a second thought for the potential consequences. There are many reasons to take steps to see that you're in full compliance with the law:
- There may be penalties for non-compliance discovered during an audit by a regulatory body such as Worksafe. At a time when many businesses must ensure their operations remain financially unimpeded, the penalties associated with a regulatory non-compliance such as a provisional improvement notice is unacceptable.
- Your staff's safety is on the line. Compliance covers everything from storage to handling, and more. An accident shouldn't result in a serious injury or even potential damage to your business. It's crucial to make certain you've followed all the guidelines.
- Establishing compliance early makes it easier to maintain over the long term. Why continually be fixing issues with non-compliance when you could take a systematic approach and ensure things are set up correctly from the start.
