The program is designed to meet the standards set forth by the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) and the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDG Regulations) set by Transport Canada.

The TDG is the abbreviation for the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, a federal law in Canada regulating the transportation of dangerous goods by road, rail, air, and water. This law aims to prevent accidents, protect public safety, and ensure the proper handling, labelling, and transportation of dangerous goods.

The audience for TDG training includes individuals involved in transporting dangerous goods, such as drivers, shippers, loaders, and handlers. The program is also suitable for safety managers, supervisors, and anyone responsible for safely transporting dangerous goods.

The course will guide you through all aspects of the TDG certificate system, emphasise key points, and test your knowledge retention.
