Home / Events / Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA) – What Businesses Need to Know, Do you need one?

Share event:

Description

During the webinar, businesses will receive clear guidance and, where appropriate, a direct yes-or-no answer on whether they legally require a DGSA based on their activities.
Getting this wrong can result in unnecessary consultancy costs, enforcement action, fines or disruption to transport operations. Getting it right provides clarity, protects the business and gives senior leaders confidence that their compliance position is secure.
By giving organisations certainty upfront, we can help reduce enforcement risk and strengthen compliance standards across the region.

Many businesses handle or ship products that fall under Dangerous Goods regulations without realising their legal responsibilities. This session explains when a Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA) is required, where common exemptions apply, and the risks of getting it wrong.

Ideal for companies shipping products, batteries, chemicals, aerosols, samples or equipment — whether occasionally or daily — this session helps you understand your obligations before enforcement or carrier rejection becomes an issue.
