Dangerous goods signs are a legal requirement for the storage, handling, and transport of hazardous materials under the Australian Dangerous Goods Code. From HAZCHEM placards for vehicles to class-specific storage signs for fixed facilities, correct signage is a non-negotiable compliance obligation for any business working with dangerous goods.
Industro supplies dangerous goods signs to transport operators, chemical manufacturers, distributors, mining companies, and any business required to comply with the ADG Code and relevant state dangerous goods legislation.
Dangerous goods sign categories
The ADG Code divides dangerous goods into nine classes, each with specific signage requirements:
- Class 1 — Explosives
- Class 2 — Gases (flammable, non-flammable, toxic)
- Class 3 — Flammable liquids
- Class 4 — Flammable solids and reactive substances
- Class 5 — Oxidising substances and organic peroxides
- Class 6 — Toxic and infectious substances
- Class 7 — Radioactive material
- Class 8 — Corrosive substances
- Class 9 — Miscellaneous dangerous goods
HAZCHEM placards and storage signs
Vehicles transporting dangerous goods above threshold quantities must display HAZCHEM placards identifying the class and UN number of the goods carried. Fixed storage facilities must display class labels and emergency information panels at access points. Industro stocks both transport and storage signage across all nine ADG classes.
