TRANSPORTATION OF DANGEROUS GOODS [ONLINE COURSE]
COURSE OVERVIEW
Thousands of shipments of dangerous goods such as gasoline, propane and pesticides are transported every day on Canada's highways. The Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations are intended to protect the public from hazards of an accidental spill or leak.
The TDG system provides information to everyone who comes in contact with the dangerous goods - including emergency responders, if something goes wrong.
The regulations make sure that:
  • a shipping document describes the dangerous goods
  • safe packaging helps prevent spills and leaks
  • safety marks such as labels and placards provide visual clues about the hazards of the dangerous goods
  • emergency actions protect people and the environment in case of a spill or leak.
