DGSA (Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser)

Qualified DGSA Services – Ensure ADR Compliance with Traxion

All companies involved in the transportation or packing of Dangerous Goods by road are legally required to have the advice of a qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA). Traxion Training offers freelance DGSA services to help ensure your business remains compliant with ADR regulations.

Our qualified DGSA, Craig Wilson, is based in Preston, Lancashire, and is listed as an approved adviser on the UK Government’s official register of qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Advisers. You can find his credentials on the Government website here.

What is the Role of a DGSA?

A DGSA plays a critical role in advising companies on the safe and compliant carriage of Dangerous Goods. They are responsible for:

• Ensuring compliance with ADR regulations (the European Agreement Concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road).
• Monitoring and reviewing company practices related to the transport and packing of hazardous materials.
• Providing guidance on the correct procedures for handling Dangerous Goods.
• Producing the mandatory annual report as outlined in ADR Section 1.8.3.
• Offering ongoing support and guidance on safety and compliance matters related to ADR.

A full list of responsibilities for a DGSA can be found in ADR Section 1.8.3.
