Apply to Register for the Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor Exam
Any company whose operations involve the transport of dangerous goods by road, rail, and/or inland waterways, or the packaging, loading, filling, or unloading associated with such activities, must appoint one or more dangerous goods safety advisors for the transport of dangerous goods.
In Germany, this also applies to the transport of dangerous goods by sea. The primary responsibility of a dangerous goods safety advisor is to help prevent risks to people, property, and the environment arising from activities related to the transport of dangerous goods.
The training certificate for dangerous goods safety advisers is issued after you have successfully completed the required training courses for the respective mode of transport and passed the corresponding exams.
The training system is structured as follows:
- Basic Training Course
- Road
- Rail
- Inland Waterways
- Maritime
After successfully completing the respective course, you must register with the Saarland Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) to take the corresponding exam. If you need to retake the exam only once, you do not need to retake the training course. You must submit an application to take the retake exam.
