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.
