Hazardous Substances and Dangerous Goods (Vic & WA) Hazard Guide Training

Understand the risks. Apply the controls. Protect your workplace.

Working with hazardous substances and dangerous goods requires more than common sense — it demands a clear understanding of legal responsibilities, exposure risks, and risk control strategies. In Victoria and Western Australia, these substances are regulated under specific state legislation, and employers have a duty of care to ensure workers are trained, informed, and protected.

The Hazardous Substances and Dangerous Goods Hazard Guide Training has been developed to help learners understand both the hazards and the appropriate workplace controls required to minimise risk. Whether you're involved in handling chemicals, supervising work areas, or managing compliance, this course gives you the tools to act responsibly and confidently.

What You’ll Learn

This training is specifically designed to support businesses and workers in Victoria and Western Australia, where hazardous substances and dangerous goods are governed under state-based legislation. It provides the foundational knowledge needed to work safely with these materials — and to identify, assess, and control exposure in a compliant way.

You’ll explore:

  • What hazardous substances and dangerous goods are — and how they’re classified

  • The differences between hazardous substances (health risk) and dangerous goods (physical risk)

  • Common ways you might be exposed to these substances at work

  • Key control measures to reduce exposure and prevent incidents

  • The importance of Safety Data Sheets (SDS), labelling, and correct storage

  • Practical strategies for managing risks and responding to emergencies

This course is designed for real workplaces — with clear, easy-to-follow guidance and examples that apply to manufacturing, logistics, construction, warehousing, healthcare, agriculture, and more.

Why This Training Matters

Hazardous substances and dangerous goods are present in more workplaces than you think — from industrial solvents and fuels to cleaning products, paints, adhesives, and gases. Without proper handling and risk management, these materials can lead to immediate injuries, chronic health effects, fires, explosions, and environmental harm.

Employers in Victoria and WA must comply with relevant state regulations, and workers must be trained in hazard recognition and safe work procedures. This course not only helps reduce workplace incidents — it helps you meet your legal obligations and build a culture of safety.

Who This Course Is For

This course is ideal for anyone who works with or around hazardous substances and dangerous goods in Victoria or Western Australia. It’s suitable for:

  • Warehouse and logistics personnel

  • Maintenance and cleaning staff

  • Site supervisors and operational managers

  • Manufacturing workers

  • Tradespeople and construction workers

  • Health and aged care professionals handling chemicals

  • Safety representatives and compliance staff

No prior chemical safety training is required, making this a valuable entry-level or refresher course.

Course Format and Delivery

The course is delivered online, so you can complete it anytime, anywhere, and at your own pace. It's designed to be engaging and accessible, featuring interactive content, real-world scenarios, and visual demonstrations that reinforce key messages.

The course concludes with a short assessment to confirm your understanding of the material. Upon successful completion, you will receive a Certificate of Completion — which can be used for compliance documentation or personal development.

What You’ll Walk Away With

After completing this course, you’ll have the knowledge to:

  • Identify hazardous substances and dangerous goods in your workplace

  • Understand the differences in their classification and the risks they pose

  • Recognise potential exposure routes and health impacts

  • Apply appropriate controls to minimise risk — including PPE, ventilation, isolation, and safe handling

  • Interpret Safety Data Sheets and understand chemical labelling requirements

  • Participate in or support emergency planning and response procedures

Most importantly, you’ll be better prepared to work safely and support a compliant, risk-aware workplace culture.
