Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor / DGSA

On the 1 January 2000 the Government introduced the Carriage of Dangerous Goods (Safety Advisor) Regulations 1999, this implemented a European Directive and eventually the same standard will apply to all E. U. member states. These regulations, commonly referred to as the DGSA regulations, require all companies who are involved in the consigning and carriage of dangerous goods to appoint a qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA) by January 1 2000. Companies have the option to appoint a person within their employment or to use the services of a DGSA consultant, whichever is chosen must be qualified by examination arranged by the Scottish Qualifications Authority.

As a qualified DGSA based in the North West of England, I have been supplying my services as consultant DGSA to a number of companies involved in the transportation and manufacture of dangerous goods and I am able to offer a cost effective solution to companies needing to comply with these regulations.

The service that I provide is briefly described below:
