The SA Dangerous Substances (Dangerous Goods Transport) Regulations 2008 and a new edition of the Australian Dangerous Goods Code (ADG7), both come into effect on the 1st January 2009. However, Minister for Industrial Relations, Paul Caica, says that to assist industry comply with the required changes, there will be a transition period of 12 months to 31st December 2009. “Most organisations likely to be affected are already aware of these impending changes,” Mr Caica said."
