Overview
What this RAVS document does
Transporting dangerous goods carries a risk to emergency workers, the public, and the environment. A hiring client that configures this element wants to see that a contractor classifies dangerous goods, prepares shipping documents, displays safety marks, trains workers, and reports accidental releases.
This document states your company's TDG program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: classifying dangerous goods, shipping documentation, safety marks, securement, training, accidental release, reporting accidental releases, permits for an equivalent level of safety, and exemptions. It is written to the federal TDG framework. The file arrives in editable Word format - add your company name, confirm the company-specific details, and upload.

- Dangerous goods safety marks displayed on means of containment
- Securement of dangerous goods against accidental release

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for contractors whose hiring clients require the transportation of dangerous goods element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks.

Practical guidance
How to pass the TDG review the first time
- Train and certify. The document states an employee does not handle or transport dangerous goods unless they are adequately trained and hold a training certificate, renewed every three years. A reviewer expects that certification.
- Display safety marks. The document states a means of containment is not transported unless each dangerous goods safety mark is displayed, kept clean, and identifiable. A reviewer expects those marks.
- Report accidental releases. The document states an accidental release above the prescribed quantity is reported immediately to management and the required authorities. A reviewer expects that reporting.
