Transport of dangerous goods Online Training Description

Safe Handling, Packaging and Storage of Dangerous Goods

Do you receive dangerous goods labelled in transport?

Do you handle these dangerous products? Do you have to send dangerous goods in transport? In all these situations, all employees must have a valid certification. We offer training for the transportation of dangerous goods by land (TDG), marine (IMDG) and air (IATA) as well as cross-border (CFR 49). All our training courses comply with Transport Canada requirements.

This training is suitable for any person handling, packaging and storing in accordance with the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) regulations.

We cover the following topics:

• Proper shipping names designation
• Safety Marks
• Documentation
• Classification (9 hazard classes)
• Appropriate standardized containers
• Emergency response assistance plans
• Exemptions
• Provincial regulations (tunnels and load securement)
• Marine transportation in Canadian waters
• Ferries

We privilege enjoyable learning with the help of games and didactic material. Each participant will receive a training booklet for future reference and a training certificate in accordance with Transport Canada standards.

Summary and objectives of the training

Did you know that the handling of dangerous goods requires your employer to certify your training in the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDGR)?
Did you know that in the event of an offence, a 5-year statute of limitations applies, and that each day is considered a separate offence during this period?

These obligations are too often ignored. Nevertheless, the TDGR is an integral part of operations for most companies in chemistry-related fields. In addition to WHMIS labelling and the Consumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations (CCCR), TDGR labelling is present in our workplaces. This presence, although fully acceptable, unilaterally requires staff to undergo training and recertification every 3 years in these regulations.
