INTRODUCTION

This guide has been prepared for the use of inspectors appointed under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992. Its purpose is to provide, for each section of the Act, comments on the meaning of the section, and where relevant, comments on policy relating to the application of the section.

The page number in the lower right corner consists of two numbers separated by a decimal point. The first number is the same as the section number being described. The second number is used to number the pages for a given section in sequence.

It is recognized that some interpretations or policies will change if there is a court decision requiring this. When appropriate, relevant court decisions will be added.

Each page is dated on the upper right corner and amendments will be dated when they are issued.

Inspectors are reminded that the word province includes the Yukon and the Northwest Territories.
