Hazchem industry consultants

This page provides contact details of industry consultants, training providers and equipment suppliers and related links for hazardous chemicals and substances risk management.

Engaging a consultant and being a competent person

People conducting a business or undertaking (PCBUs) can engage external consultants for health and safety advice (PDF, 0.34 MB) . Consultants may specialise in a number of areas, so be sure to select one that is best suited to your health and safety needs. Engaging a consultant for help and advice does not guarantee that a PCBU has satisfied their legal duties under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011. A consultant may also have legal duties under the Act as a PCBU for the services provided.

Legal duties and responsibilities cannot be transferred or delegated to a consultant. If a PCBU is found to be in breach of their duties, it may not be a defence to have relied on the advice or recommendations of a consultant. For these reasons, it is important for PCBUs who engage others for health and safety advice to remain actively involved in work health and safety matters, including monitoring and reviewing risk controls.

Providers of professional services in the field of the safe storage and handling of hazardous chemicals need to be competent for the service provided such as designing a storage and handling system, removing an abandoned underground fuel tank, or authoring a safety data sheet. The WHS Regulation includes a definition of a competent person as a person who has acquired through training, qualifications or experience the knowledge and skills to carry out the task. WHS laws do not specify the specific qualifications and experience for this sector. Those engaging consultants must satisfy themselves that the provider has the necessary qualifications and experience for the task to be undertaken. When professional engineering services are required (i.e., beyond application of prescriptive standards), they are to be performed by, or under the supervision/sign off of, a Registered Practicing Engineer Queensland (RPEQ) with appropriate expertise in the relevant discipline.
