Blurb
Dangerous Goods professional with over 5 years of hands-on experience.
I bring over five years of practical experience in the field of dangerous goods, with a background that spans from acceptance and cargo manifestation to training and regulatory compliance. At Zürich Airport, I served as a DG Trainer for a ground handling company, gaining in-depth knowledge of air cargo operations.
My experience also includes packing dangerous goods across various classes, preparing compliant documentation for multiple modes of transport, and acting as an external Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor. I have supported a wide range of clients in Switzerland, from sole traders to large organisations, ensuring full compliance with safety regulations and international transport standards.
