Guidelines for Training Criteria
The TDG Directorate has prepared Guidelines
for Training Criteria to clarify, but not replace, the training requirements contained
in the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations.
These guidelines are intended to help employers determine which employees should be
trained and what should be included in the training. The guidelines are not
all-encompassing.
Sample Proof of Training Certificate
The employer must provide an employee with a Training Certificate as proof of training.
A sample training certificate is available on the last page of the Guidelines
for Training Criteria document.
Training Organizations
The TDG Directorate maintains a listing of organizations which provide dangerous goods
training. The Directorate has not examined or certified any of the courses offered and the
inclusion of this information does not imply endorsement or approval by Transport Canada
or the Directorate.
Training Requirements for Aviation Carriers
Civil Aviation Division has specific training requirements for persons involved in the handling, offering for transport and transporting of dangerous goods by air.
