2-1 - Flammable Gases
2-2 - Non Flammable Non Toxic Gases
2-3 - Toxic Gases
3 - Flammable Liquids
4 - Flammable Solids (Substances liable to spontaneous combustion and Substances that in contact with water emit flammable gases)
4-1 - Flammable Solids and other reactive substances
4-2 - Substances liable to spontaneous combustion
4-3 - Substances that in contact with water emit flammable gases
5 - Oxidizing Substances and Organic Peroxides
5-1 - Oxidizing Substances
5-2 - Organic Peroxides
6 - Toxic and Infectious Substances
6-1 - Toxic Substances
6-2 - Infectious Substances
7 - Radioactive Material
8 - Corrosive Substances
9 - Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods and Articles

Licences are issued for the vehicle, such as a trailer, a rigid vehicle, a B-double trailer or a road train trailer, actually carrying the dangerous goods. (Prime movers and similar vehicles pulling a trailer, a semi-trailer, B-double or road train are not licensed.) One licence is issued for each transport organisation and details of each vehicle are included in that licence. The licence is valid for one year.

Consulting Radiation Experts (CREs) are accredited under the Radiation Control Act 1990, to assess radiation apparatus for the purpose of certifying compliance with the requirements for registration.

Pesticides can be applied only from aircraft endorsed by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) as suitable for agricultural operations.

The Act prohibits the attachment of spray equipment to aircraft not endorsed for agricultural operations. Before a pesticide can be applied from an aircraft, both the company (aerial operator) and the pilot must obtain a Office of Environment and Heritage licence.

Pilots must undergo extensive training as part of the licence requirements. Aerial operators must ensure that detailed records are kept for each pesticide application

The Office of Environment and Heritage uses GLS to administer the following licences:

1) Pilot - Pesticides Rating
2) Aircraft - Pesticide Applicator
