The WorkSafe Group (WorkSafe) of the Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and Safety is inviting public submissions on the reforms under the Dangerous Goods Safety Act 2004 (DGS Act) and associated regulations as outlined in the Consultation Regulatory Impact Statement (CRIS).
The purpose of CRIS is to consider the proposed DGS Act and regulation amendments as identified in the 2014 review and through subsequent internal departmental consultation. In addition, the CRIS provides an opportunity to obtain feedback on those proposals and to elicit any additional reform ideas stakeholders wish to be considered.
The CRIS considers each proposal in detail, outlining the intent and rationale and arguments for and against the proposal. It then seeks feedback from stakeholders in relation to these proposals or other suggestions for improvements, including commentary of the potential costs of a proposal.
