Dangerous Goods Expertise Across the East Midlands
The East Midlands sits at the heart of the UK's logistics network. The M1, A1 and A42 corridors, East Midlands Airport and the East Midlands Gateway rail freight terminal mean dangerous goods are moving through the region every day, from chemicals and fuels to aerosols, paints and lithium batteries.
We work with businesses across the region as their appointed Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser, and deliver ADR, DGSA and dangerous goods training on-site at their premises. Your team stays on site, and the training is built around the goods they actually handle.
