TDG (Transportation of Dangerous Goods)

TDG, or Transportation of Dangerous Goods is the product of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act. The TDG legislation was created to prevent any sort of mishap during the handling, transportation, offering or importing of goods labelled as Dangerous by Canadian government.

Due to the nature of the legislation, the standards are governed by Transport Canada, who we are proud to say are also a client of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods WHMIS Compliance Centre.
