Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor

Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor
(DGSA)

Since 01/01/23 all consignors of dangerous goods need a DGSA. All carriers have always needed a DGSA.

Do I need a DGSA?

There are some exemptions. If:

you only do it occasionally, for example breakdown recovery vehicles
you’re only receiving the dangerous goods (you’re the ‘consignee’)
they’re in ‘limited quantities’
you’re moving them a very short distance by road, for example between buildings on an industrial estate
you’re using private vehicles

You do not require the services of a DGSA. If, however, none of these exemptions apply to your operation, you will need either to:

have a member of your staff obtain the qualification;
or engage an external provider.

In the delivery of the service, our DGSA will work closely with the director and staff to ensure all applicable laws and guidelines are understood.

The package, which is delivered over the course of twelve months, includes:

customised awareness training for all staff;
developing systems in line with standards;
an initial report;
the legally required end of year report;
ongoing advice/support through the year.
