The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations have been in effect in Canada since 1985. These regulations assign specific responsibilities to carriers, handlers and shippers.
Anyone handling, transporting or preparing shipments of dangerous goods must therefore undergo TDG training and obtain a training certificate renewable every three years for ground and 2 years for air transport or upon change of employer.
