New Explosive Regulations (Victoria)

The Dangerous Goods (Explosives) Regulations 2022 commenced operation on 18 June 2022 under the Dangerous Goods Act 1985 (the DG Act). The 2022 explosive regulations ensure the safety of people and property and reduce hazards associated with the manufacture, transport, storage, sale, use, disposal and import of explosives. They also prohibit the misuse of explosives, provide for the management of risks arising out of security concerns associated with explosives, and for the safe location of vessels containing explosives while in port.

Whilst many of the amendments to the preceding regulations were focused on modernisation and simplification; MicroRisk Group can assist you to understand your obligation if you manufacture, transport, store, sell, use, dispose and/or import explosives. See our Services for more information.
