Overview
What this RAVS document does
Any company that handles, offers for transport, or transports dangerous goods is subject to the federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations. Hiring clients require a TDG answer because a mistake in classification, documentation, or placarding can endanger the public and the carrier alike.
This document states your company's TDG program in the structure an ISNetworld reviewer expects: how dangerous goods are classified, how shipping documents and safety marks are prepared, the means of containment used, and how workers earn and keep TDG training certification. 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 the transportation of dangerous goods element, that typically means confirming the document covers:
- A written TDG program with a clear purpose and scope
- Classification of dangerous goods
- Shipping documents, safety marks, and placarding
- Means of containment and their requirements
- TDG training and certification for affected workers
- Reporting an accidental release

Who it is for
Who needs this RAVS
This RAVS is for Alberta contractors whose hiring clients require the TDG element in ISNetworld, Avetta, or ComplyWorks. It applies to any company that handles, offers for transport, or transports dangerous goods - oil and gas service, transportation, and the trades that move fuels, gases, or chemicals. If a hiring client's pre-qualification configuration flags TDG, this is the document the reviewer is waiting on.
Practical guidance
How to pass the TDG review the first time
- TDG is federal. The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations apply across Canada - this RAVS reflects that, so the same standard holds wherever your drivers travel.
- Keep TDG training current. The RAVS states that affected workers hold TDG training certification. Training certificates expire - keep them current and on file for a hiring client audit.
- Match the program to your role. Whether you offer for transport, transport, or import dangerous goods changes your duties. Make sure the document reflects what your company actually does.

Questions about this RAVS
- What does the ISNetworld 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 and safety marks, means of containment, TDG training, and accidental release reporting, referenced to the federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations.
- Is TDG provincial or federal?
- TDG is federal. The Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act and Regulations apply across Canada, so this RAVS holds in every province. ISNetworld may still list TDG under a province on the questionnaire, but the regulatory basis is national.
- Does buying this RAVS provide TDG training for my workers?
- No. The RAVS is your written TDG program. Workers who handle or transport dangerous goods still need valid TDG training certification. The document states that training is in place; the training itself is separate.
- 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.
