Build Compliance With Confidence
Thousands of shipments of dangerous goods are transported on our roads every day. As such, it is a legal requirement for many drivers in Canada and the United States to hold a TDG certificate.
Anyone involved in offering, handling, transporting, or receiving dangerous goods must understand their responsibilities under the TDG Act and Regulations. SET Safety provides a comprehensive suite of training courses on the transportation of dangerous goods.
Our online programs teach workers how dangerous goods are classified, labeled, documented, and transported safely. Both individuals and groups can take these courses.

When Is TDG Training Required?
The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act and regulations establish a national framework for communicating hazards associated with dangerous goods in transport. This is to protect people, property, and the environment by ensuring consistent handling practices and adequate response in the event of an emergency.
Transportation of dangerous goods training is required for anyone who:
- Handles dangerous goods
- Offers dangerous goods for transport
- Transports dangerous goods
- Receives dangerous goods as part of their job
Note that additional or specialized training may be required for certain classes, including explosives, infectious substances, and radioactive materials.
SET Safety’s dangerous goods transportation training catalog includes multiple course options to match different job roles, industries, and exposure levels.
Who Needs TDG Training?
Common roles that require a valid TDG certificate include:
- Commercial drivers and owner-operators
- Shippers and freight coordinators
- Warehouse and distribution staff
- Manufacturing and production workers
- Energy, oil, and gas personnel
- Logistics and supply chain teams
- Contractors involved in transport or handling
SET Safety offers flexible TDG certification online options for both individuals seeking certification and employers onboarding multiple workers.

Certificate Validity and Expiry
WHMIS legislation does not set a strict national expiry period. However, industry best practice recommends refresher WHMIS training for employees every one to three years. Or, when new hazardous products are introduced, job roles change, or regulations are updated.
Training for Your Whole Team
WHMIS is one of the most common onboarding requirements across Canadian industries. As such, SET Safety’s Learning Management System (LMS) supports multi-seat enrollment for corporate accounts.
For companies hiring at scale, this is an ideal way to track your workers’ training progress and ensure compliance. Contact us today to get started.

The SET Safety LMS is comprehensive and versatile. Their level of customer service and support has been impressive. They are very responsive to all our questions and requests, including requests to customize features (for example, they helped us create a custom online new hire form that helped streamline our onboarding). There are also many features that have helped us improve our processes... we now build courses in-house and host them in this system; we assign and track course completions through the training matrix; we can assign access to training reports for management to better support their teams; and the list goes on. Thanks, SET Safety!

Wonderful company & top notch software! SET Safety's software has enabled my company to transition our on-boarding and orientation processes to being entirely online. It was low-stress, cost effective, and most of all user friendly. With any new software there is a slight learning curve but this was a non-issue thanks to their fantastic technical support. My overall experience with SET Safety has been overwhelmingly positive.
