Health & Safety Specialist Dangerous Goods

Move forward as Health & Safety Specialist Dangerous Goods at DSV in Moerdijk or Venlo

You have the unique opportunity to shape this department, develop policies for hazardous substances, and contribute to the future resilience of our operations. You will collaborate with internal (such as the regional DG manager) and external stakeholders to ensure compliance.

You get it done

You ensure that our warehouses and logistics operations are fully compliant and future-proof. You do this by drafting and implementing national policies for hazardous substances, including ADR, IATA, and IMDG, as well as their storage in accordance with PGS15, PGS37-01, and PGS37-02. This way, you guarantee that DSV meets all legal requirements and is ready for the future: you’re on it. 

How you do this? As an expert in hazardous substances and regulations, you ensure that our warehouses and logistics operations remain fully compliant with the latest laws and regulations. This role is more than just a job; you are helping to build the future of DSV Netherlands by further professionalizing this department and shaping our policies.

You switch between operational and strategic issues: from drafting safety procedures and developing training programs within DSV to advising management on the feasibility of new storage locations and the cost-benefit analysis of warehouse modifications. You work closely with authorities, municipalities, and industry organizations to ensure our operations are not only legally compliant but also efficient and cost-effective. You achieve this by:

• developing and implementing policies for hazardous substances, including ADR, IATA, and IMDG, and ensuring storage compliance with PGS15, PGS37-01, and PGS37-02, so that all operations meet legal requirements;
• applying for and managing environmental permits and advising on warehouse layouts for hazardous goods;
• analysing legislative changes and advising on their impact on logistics processes and warehouse operations;
• collaborating strategically with authorities, municipalities, and industry organisations to ensure compliance and minimise operational risks.

Within DSV, you stand out as a specialist due to the unique opportunity you are given: this role is new within DSV Netherlands. You have the freedom and responsibility to develop and implement policies within your field. In addition, you work closely with the QHSE teams in the Netherlands, consisting of 11 regional colleagues.
