    Why Hazardous Chemicals and Dangerous Goods Compliance Can't Be Managed the Same Way as WHS

    Understanding the critical compliance gap between WHS and dangerous goods management

    60 minutes

    Overview

    DGXprt partnered with the Australian Institute of Health & Safety (AIHS) to deliver a webinar focused on a critical — and often misunderstood — compliance gap.

    Hazardous chemicals and dangerous goods are frequently managed under the same WHS frameworks. But they are governed by different regulatory models, with different triggers, thresholds, and obligations.

    Treating them the same creates risk.

    This session unpacked why dangerous goods compliance can't be managed the same way as WHS, where organisations are getting caught out, and what a more effective approach looks like in practice.

    A dedicated resource hub built alongside this session — including supporting materials and practical guidance for WHS professionals — is available at Dangerous Goods Compliance for WHS Professionals.

    What You'll Learn

    • The key differences between WHS, hazardous chemicals, and dangerous goods compliance
    • Why WHS systems alone don't meet dangerous goods obligations

    Who Is This For
