The transportation of dangerous goods by air, marine, rail and road are regulated under the federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992. The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act 1992 became law as a result of the Mississauga train crash of November 6th, 1979. The train was carrying Chlorine gas, Propane and Toluene, all of which present grave danger to public safety. At that time the transportation of dangerous goods was regulated for rail vehicles, which ensured proper documentation allowing the emergency response crew to safely evacuate 250,000 people but there were no regulations for ground. All provinces and territories, establishing the safety requirements for the transportation of dangerous goods, have adopted the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act.
Transport Canada is responsible for the safe transport of dangerous goods by all modes of transport in Canada. This on-line training program addresses Part 6.1 of the TDG regulations requiring training and is suitable for employees that ship, receive or transport dangerous goods. This program is only valid for ground transport should you require training for Air IATA/ICAO or Marine IMDG, please contact our office for further details.
