Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA) Services

Section 1.8.3 of the European directive for carriage of dangerous goods by road - commonly referred to as ADR - requires those involved in the carriage of dangerous goods to appoint a Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA). In Great Britain, the Carriage of Dangerous Goods and the Use of Transportable Pressure Equipment Regulations 2009 set out the legal framework, which extensively follows ADR. 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 and experienced DGSA I can provide the following:

  • Monitoring on compliance with the law
  • Advising on the transport of dangerous goods and relevant training requirements
  • Preparing an annual report of the employers' activities
  • Monitoring a range of procedures and safety measures
  • Investigating and compiling reports on any accidents or emergencies
  • Advising on the potential security aspects of transport

If you need a DGSA, or you already employ one but think a change maybe due (or maybe they will be retiring soon and you need to plan ahead!), then please contact me to discuss.

Rates are from £380 per year!

Fertiliser Industry Assurance Scheme (FIAS) Consultancy

Any haulier wanting to transport fertiliser must be registered with FIAS. The FIAS Scheme has requirements around policies, procedures, risk assessments, etc. I can provide a full service to take all of this and provide you with what is required for registration.

As an existing FIAS assessor I have the knowledge to be able to provide you with the following:

  • Full FIAS advisory service including preparation of any documents such as Quality Manuals, Security Plan, procedures, etc.
  • Ensuring compliance to the Transport Standard
  • Preparation of any additional documents required to maintain compliance
  • Provide FIAS awareness training as required by the Standard
  • Advising on any changes to the Standard
  • Preparation for the annual assessment and I will ensure completion of any actions that may be raised.

Rates are dependent on current level of compliance, size of business etc. If taken in conjunction with DGSA services then rates are reduced.

Trade Assurance Scheme for Combinable Crops (TASCC) Consultancy

Any haulier wanting to transport approved feed or seed must be registered with TASCC. TASCC has requirements around policies, procedures, HACCP assessments, etc. I can provide a full service to take all of this and provide you with what is required for registration.

As a TASCC assessor for Kiwa I have the knowledge to be able to provide you with a manual and support to ensure your compliance.

I can offer combined FIAS and TASCC cover also which would be a great help when being audited as a combined audit of both schemes will usually take place and can be made more 'streamlined' if I can cover both for you.
