A standard grain operation in Australia stores, transports and uses the following Dangerous Substances (Goods).

Some examples in these DG Classes are:

There are differing rules for the transport and the storage of Dangerous Goods. There are also licensing requirements for certain quantities and types of containers used for transport and storage.
