Read the guide →ADR 1.8.3 requires many organisations involved in the carriage of dangerous goods to appoint a DGSA.
It applies to consignors, carriers, packers, fillers, loaders and unloaders, subject to some exemptions. The exemptions arise from ADR 1.8.3.2 and have been implemented by CDG Regulation 3(j). HSE's guidance is that these GB exemptions do not apply to international carriage.
Read our full guide: Do I need a DGSA?
You do not need a full ADR driver training certificate when transporting goods under Limited Quantities. However, you must still receive dangerous goods awareness training relevant to your role. This is covered by our Dangerous Goods Awareness course — no separate Limited Quantity course is needed.
Yes. We can deliver training at your premises in Essex and across the UK, subject to location, facilities and instructor availability.
