10ft Dangerous Goods Container FAQs

What are the regulatory requirements for storing Class 3 hazardous substances onsite?

Class 3 Dangerous goods must be stored in accordance with Australian Standard AS1940-2017 and relevant state and federal laws and regulations. This includes proper storage, safe access, spill control and ventilation.

What types of hazardous materials can be stored in a 10ft Dangerous Goods Container?

These units are suitable for Class 3 flammable and combustible liquids.

How does this container support safe storage and handling of dangerous goods?

With bunded flooring, grated steel surfaces, natural ventilation and an emergency door release, the container is engineered to support safe storage and handling practices, reducing the risk of leaks, fumes and contamination.

What workplace health and safety (WHS) factors should I consider when using a DG container?

As a minimum, you must ensure the container is installed in line with WHS codes of practice, including separation distances, access to safety equipment, emergency protocols and clear labelling of hazardous substances.

How do I manage incompatible substances inside a single storage facility?

Never store incompatible substances (e.g., acids and oxidisers) in the same unit. The container is best used for grouped substances under the same hazard class. For multiple hazard classes, use separate dangerous goods containers.

What code of practice governs safe storage of flammable substances in Australia?

The Code of Practice for the Storage and Handling of Dangerous Goods aligns with AS1940-2017 and Work Health and Safety Regulations, providing guidance on bunding, ventilation, and emergency access.

Can this container assist with stock management of chemicals?

Yes. Shelving and racking options allow for organised storage, helping with chemical stock management, FIFO practices, and traceability of hazardous materials.

Are there health and safety risks when storing reactive chemicals in containers?

Yes. You must identify and manage risks related to heat, incompatibility and fume build-up. This container supports risk management with passive ventilation, earthing points, and emergency signage.

How do I ensure my chemical storage setup meets compliance standards?

We recommend consulting a WHS advisor to ensure all storage facilities are compliant with applicable laws. United Rentals containers are built to meet national standards, but site-specific assessments are important.
