The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDGR) is a federal legislation enacted to promote public safety. These regulations require shippers, carriers and handlers to meet specific standards when preparing or transporting dangerous goods. Any person handling, offering for transport or transporting dangerous goods must receive appropriate training (specific to the mode of transport used)meeting Transport Canada’s standards. This training must be updated every 24 months for air transport and 36 months for surface transport.
Our courses on the transport of dangerous goods regulations distinguish themselves by their simplicity and the ease with which you can put into practice the concepts learned. In addition, you will benefit from our many compliance tools to meet the requirements of the law without the usual headaches. These courses meet all Transport Canada, Transport Quebec and SAAQ standards.

Since by air transportation involves additional elements of risk, the carriage of dangerous goods is subject to the requirements of the IATA (International Air Transporters Association) and the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) which contains very strict requirements for the preparation of shipments such as stringent standards for packaging, package identification and documentation. Each shipment is individually inspected and may be subject to refusal(in the case of non-compliance) which would result in delays and loss of trade in addition to a mandatory report to Transport Canada. Several products, exempted from the ground transport regulations, are fully regulated by air (e.g.: aerosols, perfumes, paints, adhesives, etc.). Regulations provide for severe penalties for non-compliant shipments.
Intended Audience: Individuals who package dangerous goods for air transportation or any form of FedEx dangerous goods shipment.
