Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor
Specialist Compliance and Safety Support for Hazardous Materials
Moving, storing, or disposing of chemicals and research samples requires expert oversight.
Our qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Advisors (DGSAs) provide professional guidance to ensure your organisation meets all UK and ADR regulations for the handling and transport of dangerous goods.
As part of Harrow Green’s Laboratory Services, we combine specialist DGSA consultancy with decades of experience in laboratory relocation, chemical transport, and waste management, giving you a single, trusted partner for full compliance and safety.
Ensuring ADR and UK Regulatory Compliance
By law, organisations involved in the transport or management of hazardous materials must appoint or have access to a certified DGSA.
Our consultants help you meet this requirement with clear, practical support covering:
- – Classification and identification of dangerous goods
- – Packaging, labelling, and documentation checks
- – Transport route planning and carrier coordination
- – Waste movement and disposal compliance.
We work with you to ensure your systems are inspection-ready and fully aligned with ADR, UK DfT, and Environment Agency requirements, protecting your people, your business, and the environment.
Expert Support for Laboratories and Research Facilities
Laboratories and research institutions handle complex inventories that often include flammable, toxic, or reactive materials.
Our DGSA consultancy is tailored for:
- Universities, R&D facilities, and pharmaceutical organisations
- Biotech and clinical research labs
- Industrial and analytical laboratories.
We understand the realities of laboratory operations and provide practical advice to ensure every movement, shipment, or disposal of hazardous material is completed safely and legally.
Safe Movement and Disposal of Chemicals and Samples
When relocating or decommissioning a lab, hazardous materials such as reagents, solvents, and samples must be managed with precision.
Our DGSA consultants oversee every step, ensuring that each item is correctly:
- – Classified under the ADR system
- – Packaged and labelled to current standards
- – Documented and tracked throughout transport or disposal
Working closely with our Lab Relocation and Hazardous Waste teams, we deliver a fully integrated solution that keeps your projects compliant, on schedule, and risk-free.
Tailored Consultancy and On-Site Assessments
Every organisation’s operations are unique.
We offer flexible DGSA support, including:
- On-site safety and compliance audits
- Dangerous goods handling procedures and SOP reviews
- Staff training and awareness sessions
- Ongoing advisory services and compliance updates.
Whether you need a one-off audit or continuous consultancy, our advisors design a solution that fits your processes, timelines, and budget.
Reducing Risk and Strengthening Safety Culture
Beyond regulatory compliance, our DGSAs help build a proactive culture of safety.
By identifying hazards early and improving procedures, we help your teams prevent incidents, minimise risk, and maintain business continuity.
This proactive approach not only protects staff and the environment – it demonstrates due diligence to regulators, insurers, and clients alike.
