We have extensive experience in the following areas.

We can help you identify situations where handling and/or processing flammable liquids could create a hazardous situation, and advise you on how to safely drain the static electricity built up during these processes, which can ultimately lead to a spark being generated and causing the ignition of the flammable vapours.

We have an intimate understanding of Australian Standard AS1940 – Storage and Handling of Flammable and Combustible Liquids, which is a comprehensive documented used to guide facilities through best practice risk management for flammable and combustible liquids such as fuels, solvents and thinners.

If you are storing different classes of Dangerous Goods onsite, we can assist you by undertaking an assessment of your segregation requirements and make practical recommendations on how to minimise risks and meet your compliance obligations

Educating your staff on the safe storage and handling of chemicals and the effective use of Safety Data Sheets (SDS’s) is paramount in managing risks associated with various chemicals. We can assist you in developing customised training packages which we can also deliver to your staff.

Depending on the amount of Dangerous Goods you store onsite, you may be required to develop a site manifest and/or a chemical register. Total Safety Consulting can assess your site(s) against relevant legislative obligations and if required, develop the documentation specific to your site to meet these requirements.

Sometimes you need a thorough assessment of all aspects relating to chemicals. We conduct comprehensive in-person walk-throughs of your operations to identify gaps and risk minimisation opportunities, which are all documented in a detailed report.
