British Association of Dangerous Goods Professionals - BADGP

CHCS is delighted to have a Memorandum of Understanding with the UK-based British Association of Dangerous Goods Professionals, known as BADGP. This relationship offers benefits to members of both organisations.

The aims of the MoU are as follows:

• Share information, experience, materials and skills to learn from each other and operate effectively
  
  
• Work collaboratively on issues of mutual interest to identify solutions and avoid duplication of effort
  
  
• Engage in mutual advertising for organisation-sponsored events such as conferences, seminars, webinars and training courses through channels including but not limited to website posting, member mailing and organisation-sponsored social media platforms
  
  
• Offer reciprocal member-discount pricing for organisation-sponsored events

• Offer a complimentary place to the other Party to exhibit its services at each organisation's annual general meeting
  
  
• Maintain a link the other Party's website on each organisation's own website

Forthcoming BADGP Events

• BADGP Webinar: Investigations
  7 October 2025, 13:00 - 14:30
  

  Within the DGSA monitoring duties there is a requirement for DG professionals to conduct ‘accident investigations’ following incidents relating to dangerous goods.

  No further information or instruction is provided other than what to report and when. The why and the how of the investigation process is not explained nor is there any reference to any additional material to assist you in meeting this monitoring activity.

  BADGP aims to address that knowledge and skill gap with a webinar that examines the basics of incident investigation using two of our experienced incident investigators, Dan Lee and Bill Atkinson.

  Dan’s experience comes from 20 years in the police service and 20 years in the health and safety advisory role for various companies and Bill’s comes from his fire service experience and work with incident investigators Adler and Allan.

  So if you want to know how to undertake a basic investigation or you need to know the terminology that your health and safety officers/managers use, then make sure that you register for this webinar on Tuesday 7th October at 1pm BST.
