TDG Ground Description

The objective of this training program is to create a greater awareness of the potential dangers associated with the transport, shipping and receiving of dangerous goods. It also provides an understanding of the TDG regulations and the needs for their application in the workplace.

Each department that receives ships or transports dangerous goods (including hazardous waste) must identify person(s) for handling these goods and ensure that they are properly trained.

Please Note: Transportation of Dangerous Goods regulations do not apply where only limited quantities of dangerous goods are transported, although safety marks on containers must be visible, training is not required. Please see TDG regulations for exempt quantities.
