Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser
DGSA
Introduction:
The Department For Transport, Local Government and the Regions (DTLR) is
responsible for the implementation in the UK of the European Community Directive
96/35/EC. This Directive is about the appointment and training of safety
advisers involved in the carriage of dangerous goods by road. By the 1st January
2000, any company or other organisation that transports dangerous goods (and
certain other organisations involved in report related activities), should have
appointed a qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser or Dangerous Goods Safety
Advisers Consultant.
Before their appointment, DGSA's must gain a Vocational Training Certificate (VTC)
by passing approved examinations. The DTLR is responsible for the approval of
the examinations and it has appointed the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA)
as its agent.
Training:
Sigma Studies can now offer a 5-day intensive DGSA training course. The aim is
to give persons who have been put forward to become the company DGSA a full
understanding of the regulations and procedures, prior to sitting the
examination.
Candidates attending this course will need a full set of regulations and if
possible hold an ADR certificate; they will also need to book their examinations
with SQA at least four weeks before the examination date. (Sigma Studies can
advise on the above matters).
