Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Ground - Certification for Canadian Workplaces

For Canadian employers, supervisors, and workers building a safe, respectful workplace. Valid for 3 Years

Every day, dangerous goods move by road across Canada — fuel, chemicals, gases, and countless other hazardous materials that keep businesses and communities running. Getting it wrong isn't just a compliance risk; it can mean a spill, a fire, an injury, or lasting harm to the environment. In Canada, knowing the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) requirements and applying them correctly is both a federal legal duty and the foundation of a genuinely safe workplace. Are you ready to help your organization move dangerous goods safely and legally? This practical course will equip you with the knowledge and skills to meet your obligations under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992 and its Regulations. You'll gain hands-on insight into classifying hazardous materials, applying the right safety marks, selecting and inspecting compliant containers, preparing shipping documents, and responding to emergencies — along with a clear understanding of where TDG ends and other obligations, like WHMIS 2015 and environmental reporting, begin. Whether you're a shipper, carrier, receiver, or driver, you'll be equipped to move dangerous goods safely, confidently, and within the law

Compliance is a shared responsibility. Employers must ensure that everyone who handles, offers for transport, or transports dangerous goods is adequately trained and certified, and consignors, carriers, and consignees each carry distinct legal duties across the shipping process. Employees, in turn, are expected to understand these requirements, apply them correctly on the job, and know when and how to escalate a problem — whether that's a documentation error, a damaged container, or a spill.

What's inside — 8 Modules + Final Assessment

Module 1: TDG Legal Framework and Roles

Understand the TDG Act and Regulations, the federal and provincial roles that enforce them, and the distinct responsibilities of consignors, carriers, and consignees — including how TDG training relates to, and differs from, WHMIS 2015 obligations under occupational health and safety law.

Module 2: Classification: The 9 Hazard Classes and Packing Groups

Learn to identify the nine hazard classes, assign packing groups, and determine the UN numbers, shipping names, and subsidiary hazards that drive every other classification, packaging, and documentation decision.

Module 3: Navigating TDG Schedules 1, 2, and 3

Learn to use Schedule 1 (the master list), Schedule 2 (special provisions), and Schedule 3 (the alphabetical index) to find the classification, packaging, and documentation requirements for any regulated substance.

Module 4: Safety Marks: Labels, Placards, and Compliance

Learn the size, placement, and display rules for labels and placards on small and large means of containment, and how to spot and correct common safety-mark errors.

Module 5: Means of Containment: Packaging and Inspection

Learn how to select, inspect, and maintain compliant containers and bulk equipment — including the CSA, TC, and DOT standards that govern highway tanks and other large means of containment.

Module 6: TDG Shipping Documentation and Recordkeeping

Learn the required fields, the consignor's certification statement, and the retention rules for TDG shipping documents, and how to keep them accessible throughout transport.

Module 7: Special Cases, Exemptions, and Provincial Considerations

Understand when reduced requirements apply — including retail, limited-quantity, fuel, and agricultural exemptions — and how provincial rules and environmental reporting duties layer on top of federal TDG requirements.

Module 8: Emergency Response and Incident Reporting

Learn how to respond safely to a release, fire, or security incident involving dangerous goods, when and how to report it under TDG, environmental, and security requirements, and how to work with CANUTEC and first responders.

Module 9: Final Assessment

Once you've worked through all eight modules, a final online exam tests your knowledge across the full course. An 80% passing grade is required to complete the course.

How it works

The course is fully self-paced, so you can start, stop, and pick up again on your own schedule, with voice-narrated lessons and interactive checkpoints to confirm you've absorbed each section before moving on. On passing the final exam, you'll receive a record of training completion that your employer can use to issue your official TDG training certificate, valid for three years.

What you'll walk away with

Apply the right safety marks without second-guessing yourself

Know exactly when a label is enough and when you need a placard, so you avoid the errors that lead to fines or a failed roadside inspection.

Classify dangerous goods correctly every time.

Confidently identify the nine hazard classes, packing groups, and UN numbers so every shipment starts off compliant instead of guessed at.

Choose and inspect containers with confidence.

Understand the CSA, TC, and DOT standards behind small and large means of containment — from a 20 L pail to a highway tanker — so you know what "compliant" actually looks like.

Produce shipping documents that hold up to scrutiny.

Master the required fields, the consignor's certification statement, and the retention rules that protect you and your employer if an inspector ever asks.

Handle an emergency like a professional, not a bystander.

Know the immediate safety steps, who to call, and when TDG, environmental, or security reporting duties kick in — so a bad day on the road doesn't turn into a legal one.
