interesting! reading the following:
Transporting small quantities of dangerous goods
If you carry dangerous goods as tools-of-trade, for agricultural use or for a commercial purpose, but not for hire or direct reward, and the quantity is within the limits in schedule 1 of the rule, then you're responsible for:
•making sure the goods are properly packaged and identified
•segregating incompatible dangerous goods (keeping them apart to prevent dangerous reactions)
•securing the load on your vehicle
•carrying emergency response information
•safe handling practices and emergency procedures
It looks like any tradie type person is about f*%ked (we knew that anyway). I now have to have stickers on the work Utes because they carry nail guns which run on gas and have all the paper work that goes with it?
As far as the fine goes I find it hard to believe any cop would be able to give you a ticket for it unless it was for hire or reward (hire or reward is a hard one) eg: transport company. If your carry goods which comply with schedule 1 or what ever the f*&k it is for work related activities the only fines available should be from Work Safe.
