Legislative Requirements
Any business involved in the transport, or related loading or unloading, of dangerous goods by Road, Rail, Sea or Air is required to appoint one or more Dangerous Goods Safety Advisors (DGSAs). Hence, these advisors must be competent in the area of safe transportation. This includes, by Road, Rail, Sea or Air of dangerous goods and the associated legislation. The DGSA is responsible for helping to prevent accidents to people, property and the environment from transportation activities. Furthermore, DGSAs can be full-time or part-time as appropriate.
Some Applicable Legislation
Legislation now in effect in Ireland, includes:
- The Carriage of Dangerous Good by Road Regulations 2007
- Miscellaneous Provisions Regulations (S.I. No. 288 and 289 of 2007)
These regulations apply to the carriage of dangerous goods by road in tanks, bulk, packages. Which include, the packing, filling, loading and unloading of dangerous goods in relation to their carriage. The 2009 revision of ADR Regulations introduced a big change to the instructions in writing, both in terms of the content and who is responsible for supplying them. Other changes are available on request. Since 1st July 2009, the new instructions in writing must be used at all times when hazardous goods are transported by road. The HSA have compiled some guidelines on the duty of a DGSA.
