Safety adviser certificate

A safety adviser is a competent person acting for the benefit of a company, whose duty is to ensure the safety and compliance of the carriage of dangerous goods. A safety adviser must have completed a safety adviser training course in an educational establishment experienced in organising formal or continuous training in the field of dangerous cargo, passed a test and obtained a respective certificate (hereinafter referred to as safety adviser certificate).

It is possible to apply for a new certificate to replace a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate. In such a case, the person must inform the Estonian Transport Administration in writing.
