Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA)
My expert guidance to ensure the safe, compliant, and responsible transport of dangerous goods.
Your Legal Duty for Dangerous Goods
Under the ADR regulations, any business involved in the consignment, loading, or transport of dangerous goods by road above specified thresholds is legally required to appoint a qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA).
The role of the DGSA is to help you prevent the inherent risks in these activities, ensuring compliance with complex regulations and safeguarding your staff and the public. Failure to appoint a DGSA when required is a serious offence that can lead to prosecution.
