David has been training Transportation of Dangerous Goods since 1989. David has an impressive background in this field including: being appointed as a Transport Canada Dangerous Good Federal inspector for the province of Ontario; MTO Inspector of dangerous goods and commercial vehicles; Ontario representative on the Transport Canada Federal/Provincial/Territorial committee on the re-writing of the dangerous goods regulations into clear language. Davco's training material is registered and approved by the MOE under the OETC umbrella for courses in Transportation of Dangerous Goods (ID: 877). DESCRIPTIONA person who handles, offers for transport or transports dangerous goods, or who directly supervises another person engaged in these activities, must have a training certificate in Transportation and Handling of Dangerous Goods (TDG).
On August 14, 2001 the federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations were published in the Canada Gazette, Part II. These regulations came into force on August 15, 2002. The purpose of this legislation is to promote safety in handling, offering for transport and transporting of dangerous goods. A training certificate is valid for three years under TDG Regulations and two years under IATA Regulations, after which the individual must undergo re-certification.
TDG is composed of a number of essential components that work together to ensure safe transportation of hazardous materials. Our course simplifies and organizes this information to ensure that our students receive in-depth training that is clear to understand. |
