Paul joined DG Safety Group on the 1 April 2019 and runs the United Kingdom operation – Dangerous Goods Safety Group (UK) Ltd.
Paul joined IATA in January 2016 as the Manager, Dangerous Goods Standards. The role included: authoring the text for the IATA dangerous goods regulations and other technical publications; answering technical email enquiries through a dedicated hotline; working with the IATA Dangerous Goods Board; attending ICAO and UN dangerous goods meetings; supporting industry events and acting as a subject matter expert for the Association. Paul has also attended several SAE G27 lithium battery package performance standards meetings, the outcome of which has potentially significant consequences for lithium battery shippers.
Paul previously spent 18 years working for DHL Aviation in the UK as the Dangerous Goods Manager and DGSA. Paul was also a founding committee member of the British Association of Dangerous Goods Professionals. Paul began his career with dangerous goods as a Movement Controller in the British Army.
Paul had the honour of speaking at Europe’s largest event for the battery industry. Together with Dr. Akos Kriston from the European Commission, they discussed the challenges of transporting large format lithium batteries in air cargo.
Dangerous Goods Safety Group was chosen by IATA to help develop the game changing DG AutoCheck program.
DG AutoCheck is a digital solution that allows the air cargo supply chain to check the compliance of the Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods (DGD) against all relevant rules and regulations contained in the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. The tool enables electronic consignment data to be received directly, supporting the digitization of the cargo supply chain. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology also transforms a paper DGD into electronic data. This data is then processed and verified automatically using the XML data version of the DGR. DG AutoCheck also facilitates a ground handlers or airline’s decision to accept or reject a shipment during the physical inspection stage by providing a pictorial representation of the package with the marking and labelling required for air transport.
Step into a world where compliance is simplified, and efficiency is standard. DG AutoCheck, developed in collaboration with IATA, streamlines the verification process for the Shipper’s Declaration for Dangerous Goods. Discover a digital revolution that empowers decision-making, enhances accuracy, and accelerates the cargo supply chain.

We had a good teacher.
Paul made a potentially stupefying subject engaging and, more importantly, tailored it to be immediately relevant to our specific business needs and method of operation. Our processes are already being amended to incorporate what we learned yesterday!
The guys are so, so pleased they passed! Thank you for your help, we appreciate it!
Training received. Fantastic feedback and it was a pleasure to work with you on this.
It was a pleasure to work with you on this.
Amazing results, 12 New DG consignors across the UK, this will have a direct impact on Ops and Exercises.
Wonderful news on the successful results, thanks again to all for your contribution.
Thank you again for yesterday. Obviously we wanted to do the course for practical reasons so that we can receive approval, but I think it will also help shape our internal procedures and will ensure we are doing things appropriately and safely going forward. I thought it was a really helpful session.
Where do I start? I think this was a great success and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. I believe that we will organise this again. Thank you for a great effort. Everybody was very pleased with the outcome.
Thanks again guys. I have enjoyed working/learning from you. As a company we will be using you again in the future when the needs arise.
Thanks for the course Paul, some really interesting stuff there. The lads were happy.
I just want to say thank you for the past couple of days 😊
It was lovely to meet you both and thank you very much for agreeing to the training of our staff in particular coming all the way over to the Islands. The course you delivered was very well received by all who really enjoyed it and felt that they had gained a better understanding than in the past.
Thank you for the training yesterday and it was good to meet you ….I think I can speak for Rebecca and myself in saying that it was very beneficial for both us and the business.

A very successful and helpful training session.
