Do I need the services of a DGSA?

If your activities include the transport or the related loading or unloading of significant quantities of dangerous goods by road, rail or inland waterway you will need to appoint a Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser.

ADR requires that any undertaking involved in the carriage or the related packing, loading, filling or unloading, of dangerous goods must appoint a Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser to help prevent the risks inherent in the transport of those goods.

The regulations relating to the transport of dangerous goods are highly specialised. The nature of these regulations warrants a detailed understanding of transport legislation and associated legislation.

The Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser's duties are often complex and interpreting them can be time consuming. Outsourcing the responsibility is a cost-effective, simple and assured route to compliance with all dangerous goods transport legislation.
