Overview
What this RAVS document does
Moving dangerous goods by road is federally regulated, and an untrained worker, a missing shipping document, or a missing safety mark can stop a shipment or cause a release. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor handles, documents, and transports dangerous goods to the TDG Regulations.
This document states your company's TDG program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: classification of dangerous goods, shipping documents and record keeping, safety marks, means of containment, loading and securing, training certificates, and accidental release reporting. Each point ties back to the federal TDG Act and Regulations. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.
What the reviewer verifies
What ISNetworld checks
ISNetworld does not just check that a TDG answer exists. A reviewer verifies the document addresses each requirement the hiring client has configured. For this element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written transportation of dangerous goods program with purpose and scope
- Classification of dangerous goods before transport
- Shipping documents, their content, and the requirement to keep them
- Dangerous goods safety marks and compliant means of containment
- Loading and securing dangerous goods to prevent accidental release
- TDG training certificates and accidental release reporting

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for BC contractors whose hiring clients require the transportation of dangerous goods element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to oil and gas, transportation, environmental, and supply companies whose workers handle, offer for transport, or transport dangerous goods.

Practical guidance
How to pass the TDG review the first time
- TDG is federally regulated. The document is written to the federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act and Regulations, which apply across Canada, not to a single province.
- Confirm your training certificates. The RAVS states anyone who handles, offers for transport, or transports dangerous goods is trained and holds a valid TDG training certificate. A hiring client audit will ask to see those certificates.
- Keep your shipping documents. The document states shipping documents are kept for the required period. Make sure that record exists before you upload.

Common questions
Questions about this RAVS
- What does the ISNetworld BC TDG RAVS include?
- It is a complete, pre-written transportation of dangerous goods program written as an ISNetworld RAVS answer. It covers classification, shipping documents, safety marks, means of containment, loading and securing, training certificates, and accidental release reporting, referenced to the federal TDG Act and Regulations.
- Is TDG a provincial or federal requirement?
- TDG is governed by the federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act and Regulations, which apply across Canada. The program is the same in BC as in other provinces, which is why this document is written to the federal legislation rather than a single provincial part.
- Does buying this RAVS replace TDG training?
- No. The RAVS is your written TDG program. Workers who handle or transport dangerous goods still need actual TDG training and a valid training certificate, or must work under the direct supervision of someone who holds one.
- How long does it take to complete and upload?
- Most companies finish in 15 to 30 minutes. You add your company name, confirm a few company-specific details, then copy the content into your ISNetworld RAVS questionnaire.
