Transport Canada has provided a basic competency checklist that helps you verify the basic knowledge and skills of someone who transports dangerous goods.
What is the legislation for TDG in Ontario?
Ontario’s TDG legislation, like most provinces, mirrors the Canadian federal TDG regulations. The Dangerous Goods Transportation Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. D.1 provides specific information for transporting volatile goods in the province such as permits, insurance requirements, penalties, and more.
How do I know if I need TDG certification?
If you are a warehouse manager or supervisor, truck driver, fleet dispatcher, or work in another profession where you are either directly or indirectly involved in transporting volatile goods, chances are you need TDG certification. Your employer should be able to provide you with the specific TDG training you need to do your job.
In some cases, you may require both TDG and WHMIS training, which we offer in a complete bundle that includes both our WHMIS (GHS) and TDG online training courses.
Do I need new TDG certification if I get a new job?
It is up to the employer to determine if an employee needs to take or redo TDG certification training. If an employee’s TDG certificate is still valid when they are hired, then the employer may not require the employee to complete TDG training again until their certification expires.
