Who Needs a DGSA Site Audit?
Any UK business that stores, packs, loads or transports dangerous goods by road, sea or air is required under ADR, RID and IMDG regulations to appoint a Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA). A DGSA site audit is the most practical way to meet this requirement, whether you’re a manufacturer, distributor, freight forwarder or chemical supplier based in Leeds, across Yorkshire, or anywhere in the UK.
ADR and GHS Compliance Covered During Your Visit
Your on-site DGSA site audit reviews classification, packaging, labelling and shipping documentation against current ADR and GHS/CLP requirements, and checks that staff training records are up to date. If you also need your safety data sheets reviewed, our separate SDS review service can be arranged alongside your visit.
What Happens After Your DGSA Site Audit
Following the visit, you’ll receive a written compliance report and a certificate valid for five years, along with clear, practical recommendations. Many clients also book our DGSA training courses to bring their wider team up to speed on dangerous goods handling.
