Introduction

The Canadian General Standard Board (CGSB) has released the first draft of the new National Standard of Canada CAN/CGSB-192.3 entitled “Transportation of Dangerous Goods Training, Assessment and Competency”. Once the Standard is finalized and published, we will propose an amendment to Part 6 of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations, which would allow the Standard to be incorporated by reference.

This Standard outlines training, assessment, and competency requirements for persons who handle offer for transport or transport dangerous goods by road, rail, marine, and air in Canada.

Competency describes the capability of performing tasks pertaining to the transportation of dangerous goods (TDG), which is developed through the acquisition of knowledge, skill, and ability. This Standard is widely applicable as it:

· Identifies and describes function-specific tasks across all modes of transport; and

· Provides a benchmark to employers in terms of training and determining competencies that suit their operations and workforce requirements.
