In October 2001, Transport Canada's dangerous goods inspectors began visiting all operators who hold Emergency Response Plans (ERAP) to provide security awareness briefings.

Transport Canada also requested that provincial and territorial inspectors verify the validity of drivers' licenses whenever they inspect a truck transporting dangerous goods for which an ERAP is required.

Transport Canada is also working to coordinate its efforts with other departments and agencies involved in inspecting the transportation of dangerous goods (e.g., National Resources Canada, Environment Canada, Health Canada and Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission).
