A core interactive TDG awareness course of 11 interactions and 7 validated competencies where learners decode real classifications, labels, placards, and shipping documents. They learn to recognize a dangerous good and its handling requirements the way TDG plays out on the dock.
Dangerous goods move through nearly every workplace — fuels, gases, corrosives, cleaning chemicals, batteries — and moving them is governed by federal law: the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act and Regulations, administered by Transport Canada and mirrored in Manitoba by the Dangerous Goods Handling and Transportation Act. This awareness course equips every worker to recognize dangerous goods and respond appropriately, without becoming a certified handler.
Equip every worker to recognize dangerous goods by their class and safety marks, understand shipping documents and the means of containment, respond correctly to a spill or release, and know that handling/offering/transporting dangerous goods requires separate role-specific certification.
Workers who handle, offer for transport, receive, or document dangerous goods in shipping and receiving roles.
Passing the final test issues a QR-verified certificate, valid for one year. TDG awareness should be refreshed periodically and whenever the dangerous goods present or your duties change. This awareness course does NOT replace the role-specific TDG training and training certificate required to handle, offer for transport, or transport dangerous goods under the Regulations.
This certificate records completion of awareness-level training in the Transportation of Dangerous Goods. It is not a TDG training certificate. Anyone who handles, offers for transport, or transports dangerous goods must hold the role-specific TDG training and the training certificate required under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations, and this certificate does not stand in for it.
About 1 hour 5 minutes online, over 5 modules, at your own pace. It ends with a final test that needs 80% to pass.
One year from the day you pass. TDG awareness should be refreshed periodically and whenever the dangerous goods present or your duties change.
