We are in the process of moving to a new building on school site
Anyone know of a company that will do the safe relocations of D&H goods?
Preferably SW Sydney

We did our's after hours, by the science staff. each trolley had different d&h goods on them, One class 8, one class 5 etc. We read the SDS and four or more people stayed with the trolley, etc. One trolley we packed in boxes, so no chance of a fall off.

Yeah , I'd just do it myself . One school I worked at had Chem store remote from labs and prep room, so was always carrying Chems around school .
But in bulk , I agree with Labbie , do them in DG groups .
Although after hours would be preferable , moving a Tub at a time when the kids were in class would be pretty safe and surely you don't have that many chemicals that it wouldn't take too long to move them .

Although its always nice to have someone else to cop the shit if something goes wrong

I'd be more inclined to pay someone to do it if you have the budget. Hand the risk over to someone else but ensure they have their own risk assessments etc prepared.
I think of the disaster if you had two or three litres of conc acid fall off the trolley and break open - yuk!

Sorry, don't know of anyone that does it. Could you try contacting one of the chemical disposal companies, they may know someone who does this work.

thanks
Have found a company that will do it for us
