TDG Transportation of Dangerous Goods Class

Duration:
This course includes 4 hours of instructional time.

Description:
The Transportation of Dangerous Goods class explains how hazardous materials are regulated during transport in Canada. It helps workers understand how to safely identify, label, and handle dangerous goods in various work environments.

In addition, it outlines the responsibilities of shippers, receivers, and carriers to ensure compliance with federal and provincial regulations. This training also supports safer decision-making during loading, storage, and transport activities.

Course Outline Includes:

• Explanation of TDG legislation and worker responsibilities
• Classification of dangerous goods into nine hazard classes
• Identification systems including labels, placards, and documentation
• Packaging requirements and safe handling practices
• Emergency response planning and reporting procedures
• Overview of bulk transportation of hazardous waste

The nine TDG classes categorize materials by hazard type, such as flammability, toxicity, corrosiveness, or reactivity. These classes help workers select the correct packaging, apply proper labels, and handle products safely during transportation.

As a result, TDG training reduces risk and supports safe movement of hazardous materials across roadways and worksites.
