Learning and New Solutions However, it’s not just about the regulatory changes that are on the horizon; the Biennial DG Webshow will have a strong emphasis on learning for both the attendees and the companies that they represent. Indeed, the Roadshow that was originally planned had received CPD accreditation and the same approval is being sought for the virtual event. As the whole of the logistics industry becomes more digitised, the future of DG will be discussed in presentations introducing smart technology such as new software, security systems and specialised detection equipment to seek out undeclared DG. Delegates will also hear from the developers of novel online and virtual training solutions for DG, some of which have become available, and enabled staff to achieve the required qualifications, during the Covid crisis. One of the important talks in the first session will be from DGSA Police Officers who will give an insight into the new national strategy that is being adopted when checking vehicles for non- compliance. With the subject matter also including Emergency Response, DG Packaging and Lithium Batteries, this event is a must for anyone involved in dangerous goods, including packers, consignors, procurement, forwarders and DG professionals.
