Transportation Of Dangerous Goods

Drivers who transport dangerous goods must be trained in the safe handling procedures detailed by Transport Canada's Dangerous Goods Act. Anyone who comes in contact with dangerous goods, meaning those in charge of handling the goods and those who transport the goods must have a certificate and be trained under the transportation dangerous goods regulations.
