A Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA) helps businesses manage the safe transport of dangerous goods and stay compliant with all relevant regulations. They oversee your transport processes, identify risks, and ensure your operation meets required safety standards for road and rail. 

In Great Britain, DGSA guidance is essential for complying with the CDG 2009 Regulations and ADR, which set out the legal framework for transporting dangerous goods by road. 

How a DGSA Supports You

Your DGSA can assist with:

• Understanding what counts as dangerous goods
• Ensuring correct packaging and tank specifications
• Managing labelling, placarding, and documentation
• Overseeing safe loading and unloading
• Checking vehicle equipment meets safety standards
• Preparing for incidents and improving security
• Navigating relevant exemptions that may apply to your business 

Some companies may qualify for exemptions from appointing a DGSA, depending on their activities.
