2) Not applicable. 3) 350 premises were considered with 46 given priority for inspection, all of which have now been completed. Three sites were considered to be 'high risk', namely a chemical laboratory in Welshpool, a food store in Osborne Park, and a chemical formulator in O'Connor. These premises store and use a range of dangerous goods including acids and alkalis, flammables, pesticides, and industrial and agricultural chemicals. The Minister has been advised by the DEP that the report is currently being finalised and will be provided to the Honourable Member when it is available. It is anticipated that the report will be available in approximately 2 months.
