A Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA) plays an important role in organisations that transport hazardous materials. They make sure the company follows ADR regulations. This includes ensuring the correct classification, packaging, labelling, and transport of dangerous goods. Since January 2000, all companies must appoint a qualified DGSA. To become certified, candidates must pass the DGSA exam, which is run by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA). Why is DGSA Training Important? Dangerous goods include chemicals, explosives, flammable liquids, and toxic substances. These materials need careful handling. The DGSA course helps people manage the complexities of transporting these goods safely. The course covers key topics, such as: ADR classification of dangerous goods (UN Classes 1 to 9). Transport categories, including limited and excepted quantities. Placarding and marking of vehicles for hazardous goods. Essential documentation for safe transport. By gaining a DGSA qualification, professionals can help prevent accidents, avoid fines, and ensure the safety of everyone involved in the transport process. What Does the DGSA Course Cover? Our 5-day classroom DGSA training course at HCPC Training gives a detailed look at the rules for transporting dangerous goods. The course is designed to give candidates both theory and practical knowledge. Here’s what you will learn: ADR Requirements The course covers the ADR rules that explain how dangerous goods must be handled. This includes how substances should be classified, packaged, labelled, and documented. DGSAs must know these steps to avoid mishandling during transport. Dangerous Goods Classification Classifying dangerous goods is one of the most important parts of the training. This ensures goods are sorted correctly based on their dangers. Proper classification helps keep the transport process safe and reduces the risk of accidents. Placarding and Marking of Vehicles Knowing how to place the correct placards and markings is key. This helps identify dangerous goods quickly during transport. You’ll learn how to display the right hazard signs and symbols on vehicles carrying these materials. Documentation Each shipment of dangerous goods must have the right paperwork. In this part of the training, you’ll learn which documents are needed for each consignment. This ensures the transport is smooth and complies with the law. Examination Preparation To become a qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor, you must pass exams. The DGSA exam is split into three parts: Core, Road, and All Classes. You will need to register with SQA for the exams. Our training will fully prepare you for these tests. The DGSA Certification Process After finishing the DGSA training course, candidates must take the DGSA exam. The exam has three parts: Core – This part covers general rules for all dangerous goods. Road – This focuses on the transport of dangerous goods by road. All Classes – A detailed exam on dangerous goods in all UN classes. Exams are held quarterly. You must register directly with SQA for your exam. Once you pass, you will receive your DGSA certificate. This certificate shows your expertise in safely handling the transport of dangerous goods.
