Agricultural shows provide an opportunity to hear about dangerous goods safety

Dangerous Goods officers from the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety will be at the Mingenew Midwest Expo, Newdegate Machinery Field Days and Albany Agricultural Show to provide information and guidance on a range of dangerous goods topics.

Dangerous Goods Director Ross Stidolph said the events were an excellent opportunity for the department to connect with the Western Australian farming community.

"Dangerous Goods officers from the department will be available to provide information and guidance to people attending these events," Mr Stidolph said.

"Information and guidance about rural transport and storage requirements for dangerous goods, including ammunition, and the importance of restraining and segregating dangerous goods will be available at our display."

The Mingenew Midwest Expo will be held on 15 August, the Newdegate Machinery Field Days are on the 5 and 6 September and the Albany Agricultural Show runs from 10 to 11 November.
