Posted By Elizabeth Lithgow Anyone give me advise on weight limits for carriage of hazardous chemicals i.e. is signage always necessary or is it not required below a certain weight?

Posted By Brian Rudge Elizabeth, the carriage of dangerous goods is whole topic on it's own with a bewidering array of what you can and cannot do, largely driven by what the material is and who and how it's being moved. Contact me direct if want.

Posted By Elizabeth Lithgow I'm looking at welders carrying cylinders of oxygen etc. Does a minimum weight apply or are labels required in all instances?

Posted By Sean Fraser I would have thought the principle would be - if in doubt, do it anyway. As an example, we (volunteer First Responders associated with the Scottish Ambulance Service) have our own vehicle, supplied by SAS. Since we will be carrying oxygen for emergency medical purposes, we are required to have the compressed gas cylinder symbol in the back window, even though it is only one small portable cylinder. The thought goes that because it will always be with the vehicle on a shout, the sign can be permanently applied. Probably doesn't help you in your own circumstance but does give an example of thinking on the subject.
