The employer has a duty to train workers so that they understand the information on the labels and Material Safety Data Sheets of the hazardous materials/controlled products to which they may be exposed. The employer must also ensure that a worker comprehends the necessary procedures for the safe handling, storage and disposal of a material and possesses the required knowledge of emergency procedures.

Labels and MSDS - their purpose and contents,
and the significance of the information contained in these sources.

Transportation of Dangerous Goods
TDG History
In November 1979, the second most important dangerous
goods transportation accident in Canada occurred in Mississauga, Ontario.
A freight train derailed in a densely populated area and a dozen
different dangerous goods were released.
Despite the importance of the accident, no one died.
However, over 200,000 people were evacuated for several days.
The first
TDG Act was created in 1980. Its area of application was described in
terms of the
National Transportation Act and was intended to
cover "surface" transportation, which is road and rail.
The first TDG
Regulations were published in 1985. The Regulations were often modified;
however, in general, they appeared to work.
Finally, a near final version was proposed in August
2000, in Part I of the Canada Gazette.
A year of public consultation
followed on the proposed text. On August 15, 2001,
the "final" version
was published in Part II of the Canada Gazette and the new regulations
came into force in August.
