DGAG – Dangerous Goods Advisory Group – INFO
The DGAG bimonthly meeting is normally a general networking / update meeting, open to all, to discuss issues that are going on for Hazardous Chemicals, Dangerous Goods and Chemical Regulation at the moment.
1/ Please let others interested in Dangerous Goods issues know about DGAG
2/ Please let me know of any key Dangerous Goods issues so I can add them to this website or reminder emails
3/ Please email Jeff.Simpson@Haztech.com.au to be alerted to the
4.1/ Meeting Costs for the Physical Discuss / Chat Meetings (when they again occur)
Due increased Public Liability Insurance costs (now for $20M compared to previously $10M) and the cost to hire the venue has also increased please make a donation of $5-$10 towards these costs.
4.2/ No Direct Meeting Costs for the Webinar Discuss / Chat Meetings
HOWEVER it would appreciated if everyone considers subscribing to Jeff Simpson’s Hazmat & Environment Notes
When we physically meet in a Community Meeting Room, the typical cost will be around $5-$10 each (depending on numbers): for hire, insurance, nibbles, (as hire & insurance costs have both increased significantly & fewer physical attendees to share over)
