Violation Remedies and Penalties
|
Effective enforcement requires that knowledgeable persons monitor the flow of dangerous goods to ensure compliance with the Act and Regulations. For that purpose, the Act has created inspectors to cover the many facets of packaging and transportation of dangerous goods and given them various powers to ensure public safety.
When an inspector determines that dangerous goods are being handled or transported, they may inspect the consignment (quantity of goods and the means of containment for transport) and use the powers under the Act to ensure that any movement of the dangerous goods is in compliance with the Act and regulations. On occasion, it may be necessary to prosecute offenders and the Act provides for this type of enforcement action. |
