Part 1  Agenda Introduction to TDG Exemptions Classification Documentation Safety Marks, Labeling and Packaging Requirements Schedules 1, 2 and 3  AN ACT TO PROMOTE PUBLIC SAFETY Each year more and more dangerous goods are moved across Canada by road, rail, sea and air. These shipments range from industrial chemicals to manufactured goods and, while indispensable to our modern way of life, they can pose a threat if not handled safely. Federal and provincial legislation provide for the regulation of an extensive list of products, substances or organisms classified as dangerous.  Events Prompting Regulatory Change A train carrying vinyl chloride and nine other hazardous chemicals flew off the rails and started a massive fire just outside East Palestine Ohio. TDG ACT What is TDG?  TDG ACT The purpose of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Act and Regulations is to promote public safety when dangerous goods are being handled, offered for transport or transported by road, rail, air, or water (marine). TDG also establishes safety requirements.  TDG ACT The TDG Act and Regulation – Clear Language consists of 16 Parts and 3 Schedules The Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations are broken down as follows;  Part 1 Exemptions  Part 9 Road  Part 2 Classification  Part 10 Rail  Part 3 Documentation  Part 11 Marine  Part 4 Safety Marks  Part 12 Air  Part 5 Means of Containment  Part 13 Protective Direction  Part 6 Training  Part 14 Safety Permits  Part 7 Emergency Response Plans  Part 15 Court Orders  Part 8 Reporting Requirements  Part 16 Inspectors  Part 17 Site Registration Requirements  TDG ACT Schedules contained within the Act and Regulations  Schedule 1 List of Dangerous Goods  Schedule 2 Special Provisions  Schedule 3 Alphabetical Index  The Regulations often contain updates and Amendments.

Inspectors have authority To demand immediate corrective measures Can search, seize and hold shipments (without warrant) Copy documentation Refuse entry of illegal shipments  TDG ACT – Offences & Punishment Fines and Penalties ▪ Up to $50,000 for first offense ▪ Up to $100,000 for subsequent offenses ▪ Imprisonment up to two years ▪ Compensation up to $1,000,000 per infraction ▪ Charges can be laid within 2 years ▪ Each day is a separate offense ▪ Due diligence defense  CFR-49 USA – Offences & Punishment The new minimum and maximum civil penalty figures are effective as of January 11/2022. For hazmat violations related to vessels, the maximum civil penalty increased from $84,425 to $89,678 per day, per violation. For violations that result in death, serious injury, or substantial property damage, the maximum civil penalty increased from $196,992 to $209,249 per day, per violation. The minimum civil penalty for a hazmat training violation increased from $508 to $540 per employee, per day.  TDG ACT – Offences & Punishment Direction to Remedy Non-compliance When an inspector directs a person, under subsection 17(3) of the Act, to take necessary measures to remedy non-compliance with the Act and these Regulations, that inspector will deliver to that person a Notice of Direction to Remedy Non- compliance in the form following this section. The Inspector will sent a time-line e.g. 30 - 45 days to remedy the non-compliance issues.  TDG ACT – Offences & Punishment Inspections activities, results and statistics for 2019-2020 TDG conducted 5,313 inspections - with 4,965 inspections at TDG sites and 348 inspections at MOC facilities – of the 5,881 inspections anticipated for the fiscal year. These inspections found 5,060 non-compliances, resulting in a variety of enforcement actions and risk reductions measures.

According to the results of the Compliance Estimation Program, Part 3 (documentation) and Part 6 (training) of the TDG Regulations, report the highest levels of non-compliance (34% and 22%, respectively).  TDG ACT – Offences & Punishment A new algorithm for risk scoring and a refined approach for prioritizing inspections based on risk will be developed, which will be implemented as part of the National Oversight Plan for 2022-2023. Similar to previous years, an on-site follow-up inspection is considered necessary when there is an identified increased risk to public safety (i.e., the number and severity of non- compliances exceed the defined threshold and suggest that there is a systemic issue indicative of a weak ‘safety culture' at the site). TDG ACT – Offences & Punishment  Responsibilities Inspector's roles include: Conducting facility inspections on consignor and carrier companies that handle, offer for transport or transport dangerous goods Providing technical support to emergency response teams at dangerous good incidents Providing technical support to Albertans involved in the offering, handling or transporting of dangerous goods Monitoring registered highway tank facilities ensuring their compliance to conduct functions in accordance with their Transport Canada Certificates of Registration and to the dangerous goods legislation Providing advice to industry for dangerous goods compliance on an ongoing basis Liaising with Transport Canada Dangerous Goods Inspectors  Responsibilities employer means a person who (a) employs one or more individuals; or (b) provides the services of one or more individuals and from whom the individuals receive their remuneration.  Responsibilities Provide adequate training Follow the regulations to ensure proper classification Prohibit handling of non-compliant goods Ensure proper documentation Ensure safety marks are properly display Report incidents while in care and control  Responsibilities Prohibition — means of containment 5.1 No person shall design, manufacture, repair, test or equip a means of containment used or intended to be used in importing, offering for transport, handling or transporting dangerous goods unless the person complies with all safety requirements that apply under the regulations.  Responsibilities  The shipper (consignor) is obligated to ensure that the dangerous goods to be shipped are: classified packaged marked and label documented Register an emergency response plan (when required)  The shipper (consignor) is also obligated to give a copy of the shipping documents to the carrier and to provide placards, if required.  Responsibilities The driver (carrier) is obligated to check the shipment before accepting it by doing the following; attach placards if required; maintain or replace safety marks, if necessary; to carry and deliver the shipping documents with the dangerous goods. The consignor and the carrier are obligated to report any spills or leaks that occur while they possess the goods; and to keep a copy of the shipping documents for two years. There’s 50 different exemptions in Part 1, e.g. part’s 1.17 LTD QTY’s, 1.17.1 Exempted quantities, 1.26 Emergency response exemption, 1.33 General flammable liquid Exemption. 1.36 Class 3, Flammable Liquids, Alcoholic Beverage and Aqueous Solution of Alcohol Exemption.  Introduction & Exemptions  Certain restrictions may apply to this exemption, consult with Part 1 of the TDG Regulations. ◦ Road, rail or domestic ship (does not apply to air) ◦ Gross mass less than 30 kg. ◦ Quantity and concentration available to general public commercial or industrial use ◦ Limitations on explosives ◦ Not applicable to class 7 (radioactive) ◦ Maximum quantity per shipment of 150 kg. Introduction & Exemptions  Introduction & Exemptions What is a ”Limited Quantity” and how does this exemption work?  Limited Quantities are still a hazardous material that has been given an exemption and is usually a small quantity of dangerous goods to which the general public normally has access, such as aerosol sprays and small cans of paint.  Limited Quantity is a package that has a gross mass not greater than 30 kg.  Rules MUST be followed  Introduction & Exemptions What is a ”Limited Quantity” and how does this exemption work?  Since dangerous goods cannot all be shipped as limited quantities, you need to consult Column 6(a) of Schedule 1. You must not ship dangerous goods as a "limited quantity" when the index in Column 6(a) is "0".
