Dangerous Goods Safety Act 2004

If a DGO suspects on reasonable grounds that —

there are dangerous goods at a place;

a place has been, is being, or is likely to be, used to store or handle dangerous goods;

a dangerous goods incident has occurred, or that a dangerous situation exists, at a place; or

there is evidence of a contravention of this Act at a place,

if the place is a dwelling, enter it for enforcement purposes only if —

the occupier consents;

the DGO has an entry warrant for it; or

the DGO suspects on reasonable grounds that a dangerous goods incident has occurred, or a dangerous situation exists, in the dwelling;

if the place is not a dwelling, enter it for enforcement purposes without an entry warrant.

If a DGO enters a place, the DGO must —

if requested to do so by the occupier, give the occupier a copy of the entry warrant for the place or, if no such warrant exists, a notice in an approved form about the entry; or

if the occupier is not there, leave a copy of the entry warrant or, if no such warrant exists, a notice in an approved form about the entry, at the place for the occupier.

On entering a place under this Part without a warrant, a DGO must take reasonable measures to inform the occupier of the DGO’s presence.
