NZS 5433 is a standard developed in New Zealand that focuses on the safe transport of dangerous goods by road and rail. It provides comprehensive guidelines for the handling, packaging, labelling, and documentation of hazardous materials to ensure the safety of both transport workers and the general public.
The standard aligns with international regulations, promoting consistency in the management of dangerous goods and reducing the risk of accidents during transportation. By adhering to NZS 5433, organisations can enhance compliance, improve safety protocols, and foster a culture of responsibility in the handling of hazardous substances across New Zealand's transport networks.
