What is TDG

Dangerous goods are items or substances that may pose a risk to human health, property, safety, or the environment during transportation. Such goods must be appropriately labelled, handled, and contained according to regulations to protect public safety.

This comprehensive course in TDG teaches workers how to recognize and correctly communicate the nature and level of danger associated with specific chemicals. In addition, students learn how to transport and contain dangerous goods and how to report their operations properly.
