Transportation of Dangerous Goods

Transportation of Dangerous Goods Online Training Course in Vancouver

Transportation of Dangerous Goods, is, pardon the pun, dangerous. In fact, it is more dangerous for an accident to occur during transport than for it to occur in the source (e.g. a factory). Usually, when accidents happen during transport, only two to three workers are available to manage the situation. Sometimes, only the driver (the transporter) is in the vicinity, which is even more dangerous.

This is where Transportation of Dangerous Goods training steps in. TDG training is available at Vancouver First Aid, offering on-line training  to students. This program is self-paced with access to an online instructor at almost any time.

Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Program

In the TDG training program, we teach our students that the responsibility of proper labeling lies with the supplier or the source of the dangerous goods. The carrier is the person responsible for transporting the goods and attending to any emergencies should they occur. The supplier should provide the carrier with the shipping document, which contains the following information:

• Date

  

• Name, address of consignor
• Description of the goods (in the following order): shipping name, technical name, the words “not odorized”, classification, compatibility group, sub-classifications, UN number, packing group
• Quantity in SI units
• Net explosive quantity
• Number of containers
• 24-hour contact details of the supplier
• Control and emergency temperatures

Each containment unit is required to have MSDS – material safety data sheet, which contains additional information on the dangerous goods, as well as procedures to follow in case an emergency happens. The shipping document can resized, depending on the size of the containment unit, but size limitation apply.

TDG training credentials do not expire nor are refresher classes available. You can retake the program whenever you feel like you need an update on TDG training. We encourage students to sign up again for TDG training after two to three years for an update.

Any certificate you receive from us at Vancouver First Aid is valid anywhere in Canada.
