How do you know if you need dangerous goods training? Anyone who handles, ships, receives, transports or offers a consignment for transport requires dangerous goods training under federal law. On Canada ‘s highways, nearly 1 out of every 7 trucks is carrying dangerous goods. Gasoline, diesel, antifreeze and acids are just a few of the 3000 dangerous goods transported on our roads everyday. Alberta-wide safety training in TDG is available through Spectrum Safety Services in Edmonton.

We currently do not have regularly scheduled dates for individuals in this course, but please contact us for more information.
