**In the USA there is an exemption for trades people carrying dangerous goods to be used on a daily bases for their work.
This exemption is known as: MATERIALS OF TRADE EXEMPTIONS
In Canada we do not have the same section in our regulations however there are a number of exemptions in the regulations that can be used by trades people who are transporting dangerous goods on a daily basis. For example: refrigeration technicians, painters, welders, large machinery operators, pavers, plumbers, companies supplying and delivering dangerous goods to the construction trades, etc
This course covers all of the exemptions for trades currently available in the regulations as well as it explains how the Transportation of Dangerous goods regulations could affect trades personnel.
