Overview


This updated e-course features an improved look and functionality to enrich your learning experience. It includes the most recent TDG regulatory amendments in SOR/2020-23 published in the Canada Gazette. Note, this e-course focuses on road transportation. Therefore, it does NOT cover the 6.2(l) ICAO and 6.2(m) IMDG training requirements in Section 6.2 of Part 6 in the TDG Regulations.


This course provides an overview of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Act and Regulations for managers, employees, and others who need to know about TDG, but are not responsible for TDG activities. It includes information about your responsibilities for the transport of dangerous goods, especially for training and certification of company personnel. It will also help you understand the purpose of the TDG Act and Regulations, as well as terms, concepts, and requirements.


A record of completion is provided by CCOHS upon successful completion of the final exam. A formal TDG Certificate of Training is issued by the employer when they determine their employee has a sound knowledge of all the topics and has received workplace specific training that directly relates to their duties with dangerous goods.

TDG Certificate of Training Details
+ -
    TDG training consists of two parts:
    • General education on the topics listed in Section 6.2 of Part 6 in the TDG Regulations (excluding 6.2(l) and(m)). This e-course covers these topics.
    • Job-specific training, usually provided by the employer, that is directly related to the tasks being performed, including information specific to the dangerous goods being offered for transport, handled or transported.


    Because TDG training is job-specific, the employer is responsible for determining the required training, assessing the worker’s knowledge and experience, and issuing the Certificate of Training. Refer to Transport Canada’s bulletin on TDG training requirements for further information.


    Although a certificate of completion is provided when this e-course is successfully completed (final exam is passed), it does NOT serve as a valid TDG Certificate of Training. The formal TDG Certificate of Training must be issued by the employer when they determine the employee has a sound knowledge of all the topics (the educational component) and has received workplace specific training that directly relates to their duties with transporting dangerous goods. A sample TDG training certificate is available from Transport Canada’s TDG Bulletin on TDG training.

Prerequisite
