The 13 reports relating to officers drawing or firing firearms in 2023 decreased by five from 2022. And of those 13, four saw firearms discharged for compassionate reasons related to animal dispatch. The remaining nine firearms reports were the result of high-risk incidents throughout the year where police had concerns for public safety.

Class 8 substances (corrosive substances) are substances which, by chemical action, will cause severe damage when in contact with living tissue, or, in the case of leakage, will materially damage, or even destroy, other goods, substances, or objects.

(b) elevated temperature substances (i.e. substances that are transported or offered for transport at temperatures equal to or exceeding 100 °C in a liquid state or at temperatures equal or exceeding 240 °C in a solid state); (c) GMMOs or GMOs which do not meet the definition of infectious substances (see Section 2.6.3) but which are capable of altering animals, plants or microbiological substances in a way not normally the result of natural reproduction.

According to annual data, there were 18 reports that stemmed from eight different events in 2022. But under the new reporting standards, most of those 18 could have been submitted as team reports.

(a) Explosive substances (a substance which is not itself an explosive but which can form an explosive atmosphere of gas, vapour or dust is not included in Class 1), except those that are too dangerous to transport or those where the predominant hazard is appropriate to another class; and

Some of these dangerous goods classes (DG Classes) are sub-divided into specific divisions. Read on to learn more about the classes and divisions of dangerous goods in Australia.

(b) Division 5.2 Organic peroxides Organic substances which contain the bivalent -0-0- structure and may be considered derivatives of hydrogen peroxide, where one or both of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced by organic radicals.  Organic peroxides are thermally unstable substances, which may undergo exothermic self-accelerating decomposition.  In addition, they may have one or more of the following properties: (i) be liable to explosive decomposition; (ii) burn rapidly; (iii) be sensitive to impact or friction; (iv) react dangerously with other substances; (v) cause damage to the eyes.

(a) Division 5.1 Oxidizing substances are substances which, while in themselves not necessarily combustible, may, generally by yielding oxygen, cause, or contribute to, the combustion of other material.  Such substances may be contained in an article;

(b) Division 4.2 Substances liable to spontaneous combustion are substances which are liable to spontaneous heating under normal conditions encountered in transport, or to heating up in contact with air, and being then liable to catch fire;

The annual report shows 2023 is the fifth consecutive year where the number of incidents involving less-lethal options outnumbered firearms usage.

(a)  Division 2.1 Flammable gases -  Gases which at 20 °C and a standard pressure of 101.3 kPa: (i) are ignitable when in a mixture of 13 per cent or less by volume with air; or (ii) have a flammable range with air of at least 12 percentage points regardless of the lower flammable limit.

“Having the CEW as a use of force option definitely decreases having to use more physical force or to resort to other options such as the (baton) or (pepper) spray or anything else. It’s a very valuable tool,” Fernandes said in an interview after the meeting.

Class 9 substances and articles (miscellaneous dangerous substances and articles) are substances and articles which, during transport present a danger not covered by other classes.

In this blog, we’ve detailed each dangerous goods class and their sub-divisions. As each class of dangerous goods have different chemical and physical properties, you must ensure that each class is stored and managed in a safe and compliant manner.

While probes on wires can be launched to stun people from a distance, the probes can also be energized without launching to stun people in close quarters. This is officially referred to as a drive strike.

Flammable liquids are substances that will burn in the presents of an ignition source. They are used to power commonly used equipment such as vehicles, generators, outdoor power equipment and more.

(b) Division 6.2 Infectious substances These are substances known or reasonably expected to contain pathogens.  Pathogens are defined as micro-organisms (including bacteria, viruses, rickettsiae, parasites, fungi) and other agents such as prions, which can cause disease in humans or animals.

While the number of reports decreased for the year overall, Fernandes explained those numbers could be misleading as new rules implemented at the beginning of 2023 allowed for broader allowance of team use of force reports.

The total number of reports decreased to 32 in 2023 compared to 39 in 2022, with the biggest change being in the use of conductive energy weapons (CEW), commonly known as stun guns.

A use of force report must be completed by any service member who draws or discharges a firearm in public or who uses physical force on a person resulting in an injury requiring medical attention.

(a)Division 4.1 Flammable solids are solids which, under conditions encountered in transport, are readily combustible or may cause or contribute to fire through friction; self-reactive substances which are liable to undergo a strongly exothermic reaction; solid desensitized explosives which may explode if not diluted sufficiently;

Class 6 is divided into two divisions. These definitions for each sub-division according to the ADG code are outlined below:

When working with flammable liquids, it is important to note that the flash point of a substance may vary in the presence of any impurity.

“Substances (including mixtures and solutions) and articles subject to this code are assigned to one of nine classes according to the hazard or the most predominant of the hazards they present”.

(c)  Division 2.3 Toxic gases - Gases which: (i) are known to be so toxic or corrosive to humans as to pose a hazard to health; or (ii) are presumed to be toxic or corrosive to humans because they have an LC50 value (as defined in 2.6.2.1) equal to or less than 5,000 ml/m3 (ppm).

Flammable solids are substances liable to spontaneous combustion and/or substances which, in contact with water, emit flammable gases. When flammable solids combust, they often emit toxic gases.

Insp. Julio Fernandes presented the service’s annual report on use of force during the Jan. 18 police services board meeting at the South Division station in Bradford.

(a) Division 6.1 Toxic substances These are substances liable either to cause death or serious injury or to harm human health if swallowed or inhaled or by skin contact;

Flammable liquids are liquids, or mixtures of liquids, or liquids containing solids in solution or suspension (for example, paints, varnishes, lacquers, etc., but not including substances otherwise classified on account of their dangerous characteristics) which give off a flammable vapour at temperatures of not more than 60 °C, closed-cup test, or not more than 65.6 °C, open-cup test, normally referred to as the flash point.  This class also includes:

(b) Division 2.2 Non-flammable, non-toxic gases - Gases which: (i) are asphyxiant – gases which dilute or replace the oxygen normally in the atmosphere; or (ii) are oxidizing – gases which may, generally by providing oxygen, cause or contribute to the combustion of other material more than air does; or (iii) do not come under the other divisions;

(c) substances and articles not mentioned under (a) and (b) which are manufactured with a view to producing a practical, explosive or pyrotechnic effect.”

If your organisation works with dangerous goods, the compliance of your operations is vital to the safety of your staff, property, the environment and the wider community. There are 9 classes of dangerous goods as outlined in the Australian Dangerous Goods Code. Dangerous goods are classed according to their physical and chemical properties — and the risks that they present. Classes range from DG Class 1 Explosives to Class 9 Miscellaneous Dangerous Substances and Articles.

(b) substances that are transported or offered for transport at elevated temperatures in a liquid state and which give off a flammable vapour at a temperature at or below the maximum transport temperature.
