DGSA Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (Adviser) Friendberry 

If your drivers of dangerous goods (hazardous goods) come within scope of the UK CDG (Carriage of Dangerous Goods Regulations), you will need to have or be a DGSA (Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor). This DGSA regulation applies to all road transport companies.

DGSA training required by the UK CDG can be either in the classroom or at home and it involves DGSA exams set by SQA (The Scottish Qualifications Authority). The UK Carriage of dangerous goods regulations (CDG) invoke the requirements of ADR dangerous goods regulations.

Hazardous (dangerous) goods can be carried in some kind of package.  The majority can be carried in a road tanker (Hazchem) also.

Special Offer:

Drivers living over 90 miles from Taunton are offered a £150 discount on DGSA classroom training (Conditions apply). DGSA exams are charged at around £267 by the SQA.  Mandatory legislation including ADR and the UK CDG is required.

For further information or to book your course, go to DGSA training course.

DGSA training is usually for all 9 ADR classes of dangerous goods as this gives the easiest and simplest SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) DGSA set of exams.  The exams are named Core, Road and Classes and are sat on the same day.  The DGSA training certificate lasts 5 years.

If you wish home study, you can study at your leisure.  We will supply the DGSA training material in the form of manuals accompanied by audio CDs plus DVDs.

DGSA classroom courses are carried out as close to the exam as possible. 'New' Dangerous Goods Safety Advisers may take an initial DGSA training course relating to the carriage of dangerous goods & which lasts up to 5 days depending on your confidence level.

Existing Dangerous Goods Safety Advisors take DGSA 'refresher' training relating to the carriage of dangerous goods & which lasts for up to 4 days depending on your confidence level.

Accommodation is possible during the DGSA training and there is ample parking. SQA exams are sat at the SQA DGSA centre nearest to you (Find DGSA exam venues on the SQA site).
