TDG Training for Safe Hazardous Materials Handling
NEW!
The Regulations Amending the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations TDG (Site Registration Requirements) were published in Part II of the Canada Gazette on October 25, 2023. You may also recognize this as the Client Information Database or CID amendment. It is accessible through the following URL:SOR/2023-206. These amendments came into force on the day on which they were published in the Canada Gazette, Part II.
These regulatory changes introduce new requirements to the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations TDG that:
Client Identification Database (CID)
- require that persons who import, offer for transport, handle or transport dangerous goods at a site located in Canada, that they own or operate, to be registered in the Client Identification Database (CID); and
- require that all registered persons provide administrative information and information concerning the dangerous goods and operations being conducted at their respective Site/s located in Canada that they own or operate.
Those that are required to register in the database will have up to one (1) year after the coming into force date to complete their registration, i.e., until October 25, 2024. For more information regarding the registration database and the registration process, you can visit the https://tc.canada.ca/en/dangerous-goods/client-identification-database-cid.

Frequently asked questions
What is TDG training?
TDG training is training on the transportation of dangerous goods. It must include training on the following topics, if they relate directly to the person duties:
- Classification
- Shipping names
- use of schedules 1, 2 and 3
- shipping documents
- safety marks
- means of containments
- emergency response assistance plans
- reporting requirements
- practices
- proper use of equipment
- reasonable emergency measures
More specific training is required for some ways of transportation, such as marine and air transportation.
How to get a TDG certificate?
A TDG certification has to be issued by the employer (RTDG, art. 6.3(1)). However, the employer must ensure the employee is adequately trained before issuing a TDG certificate. As most employers do not have internal experts to train their employees, training performed by an external expert firm is often required before issuing a certificate.
Make sure to select an external expert firm offering training with an instructor, to have access to someone who can answer your specific questions and needs.
Who requires TDG training in Canada?
Any person who handles, offers to transport or transports dangerous goods must either have received TDG training or perform those tasks under the direct supervision of somebody trained (RTDG, art. 6.1(1)). What is often overlooked, however, is that receiving a delivery of dangerous goods is part of handling. Employees receiving dangerous goods must thus be trained. Indeed, because labeling according to RTDG replaces the requirement to label according to WHMIS, employees handling products labeled for transportation must be trained to understand the hazards of the products handled.
Note the regulation also requires any site that imports, offers for transport, handles or transports dangerous goods to be registered in Transport Canada’s database (RTDG, art. 17.3(1)). This requirement has started on October 25th, 2024.
