A freelance dangerous goods safety advisor is responsible for your company’s overall dangerous goods compliance in accordance with ADR, RID, IMDG, and IATA DGR—from the classification of dangerous goods and the preparation of transport documents to conducting internal training and submitting annual reports to management. They verify that packaging, labeling, and accompanying documents comply with regulations, assist with regulatory inspections, and immediately initiate the required reporting procedures in the event of accidents or incidents. For companies that ship, store, or produce dangerous goods, this role is required by law—and a mistake can result in fines, business interruptions, or liability risks.
Typically, companies turn to a freelance dangerous goods safety advisor when the mandatory position becomes vacant on short notice, an audit or regulatory inspection is imminent, or their own staff does not hold the required certificate of competence under the GGVSEB. External expertise is also required when developing new transport routes, switching logistics service providers, or introducing new classes of dangerous goods into the product portfolio. Those who hesitate in these situations risk disruptions in shipping operations and severe penalties from regulatory authorities.
