Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA)

I have worked in the chemical industry for 30 years in both technical and operational roles. In June 1999 in recognition of the need for companies involved in the distribution of hazardous goods to appoint a Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA), to comply with the regulations which came into force in January 2000. I decided to offer this service to a number of companies and I started my DGSA consultancy service.

Health & Safety Advice

I soon realised that the ever increasing complexity of health and safety regulations coupled with my industrial experience and chemical industry training presented a good opportunity for me to broaden my service to include the wider aspects of health and safety. I decided to obtain a formal qualification in health and safety and having completed this work I am now in a position to offer a broad range of health and safety advice.

I am a Chartered Chemist and Member of the Royal Institute of Chemistry, and I have a diploma in Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental Management and am a member of The Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.

I am committed to giving a cost effective and efficient service to all of my clients whether they require one-off assistance with a specific problem or if they decide to use my services on a contractual basis as safety advisor.

In designing the content of this web site I have tried to pick out key elements of the service that I can offer and give a brief outline as to what my service in that area consists of. Whether you have a need today or whether you have visited my site out of curiosity please feel free to look at what is on offer and if there is any area in which I can be of assistance please use the e-mail system to contact me. You will find that I have included a self-appraisal form, which I invite you to e-mail to me, and I will advise you as to where you stand against the key health and safety legislation.

Remember that using a consultant can bring to your business a fresh pair of eyes, supported by the qualifications mentioned above, to address issues in your business. This need not be an expensive alternative, and where the qualified person is not already employed within your company it can present a cost-effective solution.
