Why a dangerous goods safety adviser must be appointed

Companies involved in the transport of dangerous goods are legally obliged to appoint a dangerous goods safety adviser. This „involvement“ is interpreted very broadly under dangerous goods legislation and includes, amongst others, consignors, packers, shippers, fillers, carriers, unloaders and consignees. The appointment of a dangerous goods safety adviser is necessary to ensure compliance with regulations and the safe handling of dangerous goods. A dangerous goods safety adviser is an expert in this field who possesses the necessary specialist knowledge and the relevant Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK)-accredited certificate to support your organisation in meeting the legal requirements. They ensure that regulations are complied with, potential hazards are identified and minimised, and that appropriate measures can be taken in the event of an emergency.
