Online Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Training in Vancouver
Transporting hazardous materials comes with significant risks, often more so than handling them at their source (e.g., a factory). If an accident occurs during transport, only a limited number of workers—sometimes just the driver—are present to manage the situation. This makes proper training essential to ensure safety and compliance.
At Vancouver First Aid, we offer a self-paced, online TDG training program designed to equip participants with the knowledge they need to handle, transport, and respond to emergencies involving dangerous goods. An online instructor is available for assistance throughout the course.
