Transportation of Dangerous Goods/ International Air Transport Association (TDG/IATA)-English and French

*Please note that the employer is responsible for providing the certificate of training per Transport Canada Regulations

Compliance with the Transportation of Dangerous Goods/ International Air Transport Regulations has become increasingly important. Specific training for investigators and staff on Transportation of Dangerous Goods/ International Air Transport Regulations is essential to ensure that all people conducting research using dangerous materials, agents or devices are in compliance with all applicable laws.  The course consists of 6 modules and covers the following: Introduction; Classification; Marks of Safety; Packaging and Containment Systems, Marking and Labeling; Documentation; Emergency Response Assistance Plans (ERAPs) and Accidental Release Reporting.

Who should take this course: The course is suitable for a broad range of audiences ranging from researchers working in labs that handle dangerous goods to clinical research staff or anyone involved in the  transportation of dangerous goods and /or international air transport.

Please note that the TDG training requirements are quite non-specific and leave most of the responsibility to the employer.  The employer determines whether an employee needs to be trained and what kind of training is necessary, and the employer is also the one who issues the certificate of training. This certificate has very specific requirements, and the one you will receive from CITI does not met these requirements. It is therefore up to the site and users of the course to determine if additional education is required or beneficial. Many of our members use this course as a refresher.
