TDG Regulations

This Transportation of Dangerous Goods training course introduces shippers, receivers, drivers or handlers to the TDG Act and explains up to date requirements for receiving, handling, transporting and shipping dangerous goods.

This course is geared towards shippers and distribution warehouses.The regulations have been designed to include “General Provisions” and “Special Cases” to address certain aspects of transport in Canada.

These “exemptions” will be covered as well to provide the most comprehensive overall understanding the regulations and how best to apply them to your specific transport needs.

People who handle, offer for transport, or transport dangerous goods need to be trained according to the requirements found in Part 6 of the TDG Regulations, or operate under the direct supervision and be physically accompanied by a trained person who has a valid training certificate.

The employees involved in TDG activities are considered adequately trained if they have a sound knowledge of all the aspects of the topics as they relate directly to the person's duties as listed in Section 6.2 of the TDG Regulations.

It is also a requirement that the person who is adequately trained and who will perform duties to which the training relates must have in his or her possession a valid training certificate containing the information specified in Section 6.3 of the TDG Regulations.
