One of the interesting things we could do is get a DGSA to discus for us How to transport explosives while staying below the scope of ADR while remaining legally compliant.

With a bit of luck I will be a DGSA in the not to distant future.

Digger ; Does the DGSA training qualification allow you to teach/organise/run a ADR course & qualification on your own?

Also, what preliminary qualifications does one need to do a DGSA course?

Here are some training providers around the UK;- http://www.labeline....sa_trainers.php

If you guys don't already know about it, the entire ADR regulations are available free at:
http://www.unece.org...9ContentsE.html

Also, I know this is a little off topic, but if anyone needs advice on shipping / transporting hazardous goods internationally by air, I have purchased the 2010 IATA dangerous goods regulations and can provide advice if required via PM or email.

Can you provide a legal DGSA service?

[pyrotrev]

Just wondering if anyone's interested in another one this year?

[helix]

I'd be interested in doing it.

[digger]

Will have to check how long I have left on my licence when I find it. It has been a rather under used item.

[martyn]

I slightly regret only doing core and explosives.

I don't know the details but I would rather have spent a few more quid and another half a day or whatever to get packages and a few classes on the licence as well.

I've only used it once in anger but it's interesting(ish) and possibly handy.

[Sparky]

How much is the course? It's probably not something I'd use but I'd still be interested in the experience and knowledge. I presume it would also be a good foundation for making decisions about future pyro related business projects.

[barnsley-mark]

I would def be interested

[Atom Fireworks]

Me too, infact depending on price two of us!

[pyrotrev]

Looking at what some of the bigger companies have been charging I would guess between £160 and £200 if we can get a decent number of people: I guess 10 is a minimum.

Thats reasonable, will certainly send one of us on it.

Any more word on if there will be a course running this year? I may be interested if it isn't too much of a mission to get to

[pyrotrev]

No movement on this yet from my end I'm afraid, it needs a decent number of folk to make it financially viable. If you need to do it independently, Transchem at Warrington or Lancaster training at Heysham are likely the nearest for you.
