• If you’re transporting dangerous goods, you usually need to have a Dangerous Goods (D) Endorsement on your driver licence. A lot depends on what you’re transporting, how much of it and under what circumstances.
• If you’re transporting dangerous goods for hire or reward (e.g. if you’re a transport operator or a courier), you will usually need a D Endorsement. There are some exceptions, which are listed in clause 9.2 of Land Transport Rule: Dangerous Goods 2005 and Land Transport Rule: Dangerous Goods Amendment 2010. Together these rules contain the current requirements in the Dangerous Goods Rule (the Rule).
• If you’re transporting dangerous goods as tools-of-trade and the quantities are under the limits in schedule 1 of the Dangerous Goods Rule, you don’t need a D Endorsement.
• If you’re transporting dangerous goods as tools-of-trade in quantities that are over the limits in schedule 1, you will need a D Endorsement, except for dangerous goods that are toxic to the aquatic environment and classified as UN3077 or UN3082, environmentally hazardous substances.
