Australian and New Zealand Emergency Response Guidebook 2024

The Australian Code for the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Road & Rail (ADG Code) sets out the requirements for transporting dangerous goods by road or rail.
It is important that everyone involved in transporting dangerous goods understands their responsibilities to help prevent and reduce damage to people, property and the environment.
At the end of 2024, the National Transport Commission (NTC) and the Competent Authorities Panel (CAP) finalised the 2024 edition of the Australian and New Zealand Emergency Response Guide Book (ANZ-ERG 2024). This is based on the updated 2024 ERG released by Canutec.
The definition of emergency information in the ADG Code means that either of the ANZ-ERG 2024 or the ANZ-ERG 2021 are valid emergency information while ADG 7.9 is in effect.
However, the earlier AERG 2018 (from CAP and NTC) and the HB 76 (from Standards Australia) are no longer acceptable for use as emergency information under the current ADG Code. These contain outdated information and should be replaced as soon as possible.
Additionally, should you identify any errors or omissions, please email these to ADGCode@ntc.gov.au. Note that the NTC and CAP do not alter the technical content of the guides, but can assist with referring issues with this content to the organisations responsible for the source document.
