Dangerous Goods Training
CANDEF provides training to an organization at a fixed cost for up to 10 personel. The following dangerous goods training courses by road are offered:
Transportation of Dangerous Goods by Shippers (Certification)
This 15 hour course is designed for individuals who package and ship consignments of hazardous materials by road. Completion of this course provides participants with a sound understanding of their responsibilities under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Act and Regulations for the preparation, offering and acceptance of dangerous goods.
The course shows the participants the structure and layout of the appropriate legislation. For example, what are the offences and penalties under the TDG Act and Regulations? What exemptions exist for the consignment? How is the dangerous good classified with respect to its hazard and degree of risk to individuals and the public? How are the dangerous goods to be packaged in conformance with the Regulations? What safety marks are required? Participants will package simulated dangerous goods, mark and label those packages, and prepare shipping documents that conform to the TDG requirements for road.
Participants will be instructed on handling issues such as segregation requirements, and placarding. They will be instructed on the minimum requirements for reporting dangerous occurrences such as a spill if it should happen.
Participants will be provided with a copy of the current TDG Regulations (or extracts) for the duration of the course. Each registered participant will receive a copy of A Shipper's Guide to the Road Transportation of Dangerous Goods ISBN 1-896228-00-3.
Participants will be expected to pass a written examination at the conclusion of the course. Part of this examination will require the participant to complete a shipping document in accordance with the requirements of all applicable legislation and regulations.
Participants will receive a wallet certificate upon their successful completion of the course. Current TDG Regulations require the participant's employer to provide a certificate of training. CANDEF's certificate will be forwarded to the employer for their signature and training records.
