The DGSA is responsible for helping to prevent the adverse consequences of the risks inherent in such activities in relation to people, property and the environment. It is a legal requirement that every Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser holds this qualification, which has to be re-validated every five years. There are no ‘grandfather rights’.
