Have your say to help improve work health and safety

SafeWork NSW is reviewing the Safe use of bulk solids containers and flatbed storage including silos, field bins and chaser bins code of practice and is asking for your help to make sure it:

  • is still relevant
  • is easy to understand
  • supports current and emerging work practices and technologies.

The Code provides information and guidance to make sure health and safety risks are identified, assessed, eliminated or controlled according to work health and safety laws.

Bulk containers are used in many industries to store a range of substances such as cement dust, blue metal, plastic pellets, farm products and fertilizer.
