TDG Training and Certification (Transportation of Dangerous Goods)

Summary Content

What Is TDG Training?

Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) training provides workers and employers with the knowledge required to safely handle, offer for transport, and transport regulated materials in compliance with federal regulations. It ensures that individuals understand classification, documentation, safety marks, and emergency response requirements associated with dangerous goods.

Effective TDG training supports safe transportation practices and reduces the risk of incidents during handling, loading, shipping, and receiving operations. It also helps organizations meet legal obligations under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations.
