A 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.
  • A trained person will be issued a clear language training certificate that they must carry when ever handling dangerous goods. This certificate must be provided to an inspector immediately upon request.

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.

​The consensus was the same will all participants, so for that thank you. Can be a very dry subject without a great presenter.!!!!"
