Introduction
YOW Canada's Dangerous Goods Training program was introduced to meet the demands of our expanding client base that are looking for safety compliance.
The Regulations are a set of rules that prescribe safety standards and shipping requirements for thousands of different dangerous goods. The Regulations also provide a means of communicating the nature and level of danger associated with chemicals.
The TDG Clear Language Regulations came into force on August 15, 2002. These new regulations replace the old regulations that were developed in 1984. This legislation is applicable to all modes of transport i.e. road, rail, marine and air in Canada.
Although there are some exceptions, generally the regulations call for all persons involved in the transportation of dangerous goods to be adequately trained. YOW Canada's Online training courses were created with the help of TDG regulatory specialists in 2002. The goal then and today is to provide effective training to all Canadians requiring TDG certification.
