Who is responsible for TDG training and TDG education?
The onus is on the employer to ensure that his or her staff is properly trained. The responsibility to ensure workers are trained and the manner in which training is conducted rests with the employer. YOW Canadas TDG courses are one method of training and, in most cases, additional site-specific training is required. How often do I need TDG training? The short answer is 3 years because a TDG training certificate is valid for only 36 months, or 3 years. However, certificates are also not transferable. This means that if a trainee changes employers, they will need to be re-certified by the new employer and possess a training certificate with the new employer’s name, address etc. Please visit: Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations Part 6 – TRAINING for more details on training.
