Frequently asked questions

In Lithuania, the official road transport role is the dangerous goods road transport safety specialist, known in English as a Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser. 'ADR safety consultant' is often used to describe an external adviser's contracted service. It is not a separate authorisation or a different role.

ADR allows an external person to be engaged if they hold an appropriate, valid qualification and can actually perform the duties. The agreement, appointment of a specific adviser and notification of the competent authority must be properly coordinated.

Our contracted service package covers a set of procedures, registers and fillable forms, as well as preparation of the annual ADR report using the data you provide. We agree the scope of work, document adaptation and deadlines in the agreement. This is not an offer of unlimited training or consultation hours.

It applies to additional work agreed separately: staff training, consultations for staff or management and other separately commissioned tasks. We agree the need and time before starting.

Preparing, retaining and submitting a report are different actions. The annual report is prepared and retained for five years. Under the current road transport procedure, it is submitted to LTSA on request; the specific submission steps and deadline are set out in the relevant notice.

There is no single answer for all businesses. The specific regime, company roles, classification, quantities, frequency of activities, route and national provisions must be assessed. Small quantities or occasional transport alone do not remove every obligation.

No. Function-specific staff training, driver qualification, safety adviser qualification and vehicle approval are different matters. Training records and refresher training must reflect the staff's actual tasks.

Simply having documents is not enough. The company must approve applicable procedures, assign responsible staff, familiarise them with the procedures and actually use inspection and other records. An adviser's service does not remove other participants' responsibilities.

You can contact us about the service in Lithuanian, English and Russian. The language of legal texts and specific documents, and any translation needs, are agreed separately.

In English, it is Dangerous Goods Safety Adviser, abbreviated DGSA; people also search for ADR safety adviser. In Germany, the term Gefahrgutbeauftragter is used. In Lithuania, we assess the service under the applicable ADR and national rules here, rather than automatically applying another country's rules.

Describe your company's activities and roles, the UN numbers or available descriptions of the goods, packaging, quantities and routes. Tell us whether you already have an appointed adviser, procedures and previous annual reports. A general description of your activities is enough to start.
