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 <i>TDG Act and Regulations</i>, as well as terms, concepts, requirements for compliance and consequences for noncompliance.</p> <p>This course reflects the most recent regulatory amendments in <a href="https://gazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2023/2023-07-05/html/sor-dors155-eng.html">(SOR/2023-155)</a> and <a href="https://canadagazette.gc.ca/rp-pr/p2/2023/2023-10-25/html/sor-dors206-eng.html">(SOR/2023-206)</a> published in the <i>Canada Gazette</i>, and other significant updates to training requirements, classification, security measures, ticketing for enforcement, equivalency certificates, electronic documents, and incident and emergency response. Handouts for safety marks and shipping documents are also included.</p> <p>Note that this course focuses on road transportation. Therefore, it does not cover the 6.2(l) ICAO and 6.2(m) IMDG training requirements in <a href="https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2001-286/page-31.html#h-1229619">Section 6.2 of Part 6 in the <i>TDG Regulations</i></a>.</p> <h3>TDG Certificate of Training</h3> <p>TDG training consists of two parts: </p> <ul> <li>General education on the topics listed in <a href="https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2001-286/page-31.html#h-1229619">Section 6.2 of Part 6 in the <i>TDG Regulations</i></a> (excluding 6.2(l) and(m)). This e-course covers these topics.</li> <li>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.</li> </ul> <p>Because TDG training is job-specific, <b>the employer is responsible</b> for determining the required training, assessing the worker鈥檚 knowledge and experience, and issuing the Certificate of Training. Refer to Transport Canada鈥檚 <a href="https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/tdg/publications-cladvisory-advol1enew-267.htm">bulletin on TDG training requirements</a> for further information.</p> <p>Although a certificate of completion is provided when this e-course is successfully completed (final exam is passed), it does <b>NOT</b> serve as a valid TDG Certificate of Training. <b>The formal TDG Certificate of Training must be issued by the employer</b> 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 <a href="https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/tdg/publications-cladvisory-advol1enew-267.htm#Sample">TDG training certificate</a> is available from Transport Canada鈥檚 TDG Bulletin on TDG training.</p> <h3>Topics include:</h3> <ul> <li>Responsibilities under the <i>Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Act and Regulations</i></li> <li>Enforcement of the <i>TDG Act and Regulations</i></li> <li>General provisions and exemptions</li> <li>Training requirements</li> <li>Classification</li> <li>TDG classes 1-4</li> <li>TDG classes 5-9</li> <li>Shipping documents</li> <li>Safety marks </li> <li>Means of containment </li> <li>Emergency plans and security measures</li> <li>Incidents and emergencies and reporting requirements</li> </ul> <h3>Upon completion of this course you will be able to:</h3> <ul> <li>Understand the purpose of the <i>TDG Act and Regulations</i></li> <li>List the company's responsibilities under the <i>TDG Act and Regulations</i></li> <li>List the employee's responsibilities under the <i>TDG Act and Regulations</i></li> <li>Describe the main training and training certification requirements as they apply to road vehicle transport</li> <li>Understand the requirements for handling dangerous goods for road transportation, including shipping, packaging, loading, and unloading</li> <li>Know your responsibilities in case of an incident and when to make emergency reports</li> </ul> </p> <p>Average time to complete this course is approximately two hours.</p> <h3>Target Audience</h3> <p>This course is recommended as an overview for all employees, including managers, workers, or anyone who needs to know about the <i>Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Act and Regulation</i> but are not responsible for TDG activities.</p> <p>CCOHS also offers a comprehensive <a href="https://www.ccohs.ca/products/courses/tdg/tdg_course">Transportation of Dangerous Goods</a> course for managers and supervisors, transportation of dangerous goods co-ordinators, and those responsible for determining the training requirements for employees handling dangerous goods. </p> <p>Refer to our fact sheet for additional information on <a href="https://www.ccohs.ca/oshanswers/legisl/tdg/tdg_training.html">TDG training</a>.</p> <h3>Prerequisite</h3> <p>Prior technical knowledge of the transportation of dangerous goods system is not a requirement. However, familiarity with practices in the transportation industry is helpful.</p> <h3>Certificate of Completion</h3> <p>Upon completion of the course and passing a final, multiple-choice exam, learners will be able to print a certificate of completion.</p> <h3>System Requirements</h3> <p>This course is delivered online.
