marcus evans Dangerous Goods Operations conference is set to take place in Melbourne on 16th – 17th March 2017. This event promises to uncover the best safety management and DGO practices to allow attendees to achieve total safety and avoid catastrophic incidents industry wide.

Expert panelists include Chairperson, Debra Kirk, Group Dangerous Goods and Hazardous Substances Manager of Toll Group, Dr Richard Benson, Environment Advisor and Botany Industrial Park Operations Manager of Qenos Pty Ltd, Philippa Thode Senior Policy Analyst of the National Transport Commission, Matt Allen State Infrastructure & Dangerous Goods Team Leader of the Country Fire Authority Melbourne, Allison McDonald Senior Manager Human Factors of Etihad Airways and Ardi Sastrohartoyo, Major Hazard Facility and Risk Specialist of Melbourne Water, among others.

Richard Greenwood, Independent Dangerous Goods and GHS Expert will join our distinguished panel with a presentation on Post-GHS Reflection: Attaining GHS-Compliant Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for Optimum Dangerous Goods Management. He will also be moderating the panel discussion on: Gaining Regulatory Clarity to Achieve Regulatory Compliance at Regional, National, and Global Level which is featured on Day 1 of the event.

Ahead of the upcoming conference, Richard notes “the adoption of the GHS worldwide has prompted a review of our understanding of chemical hazards. The need to confirm classification in the new system has lead to a questioning of established classification systems, including Dangerous Goods.”

Further, he also points out “with the transition period to GHS in Australia finally over in 2017, this conference offers a timely opportunity to review the application of the GHS within Australia, the approach used by regulators, and the impact on dangerous goods operations as workplaces. This need is even greater in Victoria, which has been insulated from the full impact of the GHS deadline, and where as a result workplaces may not have the awareness of the GHS of the states that have adopted work Health and Safety legislation.”
