Do You Need a DGSA?

Organisations involved in the transport of dangerous goods are required to appoint a Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser, however, there are some exemptions and the legislation can be confusing to understand and interpret.

Take Our Free DGSA Checker

If you are unsure whether your business requires a DGSA, you can take our free DGSA Checker designed to help businesses understand their obligations quickly and easily.

The checker works by asking a series of straightforward questions. Based on your responses, the checker provides an indication of whether your organisation is likely to require a DGSA and identifies areas where further guidance may be needed.
