RoadSafe DGSA Compliance Partnership for Inland Waterways Shipping (ADN)

ADN Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser (DGSA) consultancy

Specialist support for Dangerous Goods by Inland Waterways

ADN sets requirements for the international carriage of dangerous goods by inland waterways. If your business is involved in inland-waterway Dangerous Goods activities, RoadSafe Europe can help you review the relevant compliance arrangements and understand the DGSA support required.

Our service is tailored to your activities, the goods involved and the adviser’s qualification scope. Because inland-waterway requirements and their application depend on the operation and location, we’ll first establish exactly what your business needs.

ADN DGSA support can include:

Subject to the agreed scope, support may include:

• Advice on relevant ADN responsibilities and procedures

• Appointment of a qualified DGSA for the applicable scope

• Multi-Modal advice including Road, Rail, Sea and Air

• Review of dangerous-goods documentation and compliance arrangements

• An annual DGSA report

• Review of staff training arrangements and training needs

• Discounted training rates

• Incident advice and support

• An annual audit and written findings on applicable packages

• Corrective-action recommendations and follow-up

• Relevant regulatory updates

Discuss your inland-waterway DGSA requirements

ADN is an international agreement, and its application depends on where and how the transport takes place. Great Britain is not a signatory to ADN, so we’ll clarify your operating locations and requirements before proposing a service. GOV.UK DGSA profession and regulation summary · UNECE: About ADN

We also provide DGSA services for Road (ADR) and Rail (RID) too – each has a separate page on the website.
