Some exemptions may apply, such as limited quantities and a permit for equivalent level of safety.  The flashpoint or the flashpoint range for Class 3 Flammable Liquids must be displayed on small packages or containers transported by ship.  Some Classes may require Subsidiary Class labels with the Class number on the bottom of the label as per Column 3 of Schedule 1 of the Regulations. Marine pollutant labels may be required as per Column 10 of Schedule 1 of the Regulations. Safety Marks Is this the correct LTD QTY label for ground? Safety Marks What information is missing?  Safety Marks ◦ S hipping name ◦ H azard class ◦ I dentification number ◦ P acking Group  Must be displayed on small means of containment and when in transit listed on documentation.  Labels must be placed at a square on a point and must not be obscured by any part of the attachment to the package and/or container.  Small containers or packages containing liquids may also display an orientation label, which is not a requirement of the regulations by road.  Safety Marks Example of labeling for fully regulated shipment. SHIPPING LABEL: Shipper name and ORIENTATION LABEL address Consignee name and (Place 2, on opposite address sides of the box) DG IDENTIFICATION LABEL CLASS NUMBER LABEL Proper Shipping Name UN number Class 2.2 MUST BE ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE BOX: DG ID LABEL, CLASS LABEL Shipping label and Orientation should be on the same side if possible, if not shipping label must be on a side adjacent, as close to the DG ID Label as possible  Safety Marks In addition to the primary class label, some dangerous goods may require a subsidiary label with the class number and/or a marine pollutant label. Safety Marks  Safety Marks This following label must be affixed to all shipments of Lithium batteries that do not meet the criteria to be classified as a Class 9 Miscellaneous shipment Lithium Battery Caution Label Must have red hatch marking Must have the UN # for which you are shipping Emergency Contact Number Safety Marks New Class 9, Lithium Ion label required when battery over 100 WH. Safety Marks New Class 9, Lithium Ion label required when battery over 100 WH.  Safety Marks UN spec packaging  Safety Marks Other Markings; For Marine transport; Marine Pollutant mark Next to the risk label If inner package has >5 L or kg of P, Class 3; the flash point is also required when transported by ship. Safety Marks  Safety Marks Package Orientation Marking  Package orientation markings are to be affixed or pre-printed on at least two opposite sides so as to show the proper package orientation for the closure(s) to be in the upright position.  Note 1: Must be used on combination packaging and overpacks containing liquid dangerous goods, excluding flammable liquids in inner receptacles of 120 mL or less:  Safety Marks Other Markings; When a label is required to be displayed on a small means of containment and the small means of containment is inside an overpack, the person who prepares the overpack must display Marked with the word “Overpack” Marked with the proper shipping name Marked with the UN/ID number The Overpack must be marked with the word “Overpack” The package markings must be reproduced on 2 sides of the outside of the Overpack  Shrink-wrap or banding is considered an overpack.  Safety Marks Overpack means an enclosure that is used by a single consignor to consolidate one or more small means of containment for ease of handling but that is not a minimum required means of containment. This definition does not include a large means of containment or a unit load device, as defined in the ICAO Technical Instructions, that is intended for transport by aircraft. https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQPuaMZ_DJiIS2C2z3FUDhEEuxg8dWL0dRnaRjb6UZMvvUsH6ef  Safety Marks Overpack means an enclosure that is used by a single consignor to consolidate one or more small means of containment for ease of handling but that is not a minimum required means of containment. The following information must be displayed on the overpack unless the marks on the small means of containment are visible through the overpack:  (a) the word “Overpack” or “Suremballage” Safety Marks Safety Marks  Safety Marks ◦ Safety marks must be visible and legible. ◦ Must have design and colour as per TDGR ◦ Must be durable and weather resistant  Safety Marks Safety marks on large means of containment Must be of appropriate size  Safety Marks What is the Placarding Exemption for Dangerous Goods with a Gross Mass of 500 kg or Less? Section 4.16.1 of the TDG Regulations provides an exemption from displaying placards on a road or railway vehicle if the dangerous goods have a gross mass that is less than or equal to 500 kg. You always have the option, however, to display placards for small quantities of dangerous goods voluntarily.  Safety Marks Section 4.16.1 A placard does not need to be displayed on a road vehicle or railway vehicle if the dangerous goods have a gross mass of 500 kg or less. This exemption does not apply to the dangerous goods listed in Subsection 4.16.1(2). Here are two examples: In the first example, a road vehicle contains 400 kg of dangerous goods. These goods are not subject to the restrictions listed in Subsection 4.16.1(2), and since the road vehicle contains 500 kg or less of dangerous goods (400 kg), we can use this exemption and not display placards.  Safety Marks Placarding Exemption for Dangerous Goods Having a Gross Mass of 500 kg or Less - Optional (Section 4.16.1) For example, if a road vehicle is transporting 400 kg of UN1090, ACETONE, Class 3 placards do not need to be displayed since there is less than 500 kg in transport and none of the restrictions apply. However, if a vehicle is transporting a mixed load of dangerous goods, each class of dangerous good must be considered separately.  Safety Marks Subsection 4.15 (1) of the TDG Regulations states that the placards must be displayed on each side and on each end of the large means of containment. Therefore, the display of a placard on a truck trailer in a 45 degree angle (see image) would be considered a non-compliance. Subsection 4.6 specifies that a placard must be visible. Display of a placard in a 45 degree angle is considered a non- compliance.  Safety Marks The following Classes may require placarding under ERAP (Emergency Response Assistance Program) or for quantities of 500 kilograms (1102 lbs) or more, although some exemptions such as Limited Quantities may apply: Class 2.1 Flammable Gases Class 2.2 Non-Flammable Gases Class 2.3 Toxic Gases Class 3 Flammable Liquids Class 4.1 Flammable Solids Class 4.2 Spontaneous Combustible Class 4.3 Dangerous When Wet Class 5.1 Oxidizers Class 5.2 Organic Peroxides Class 6.1 Toxics Class 6.2 Infectious Substances Class 8 Corrosives Class 9 Miscellaneous Safety Marks Forbidden to use this type of placard in Canada  Safety Marks Placarding Requirements When placards are required, they must be displayed on all 4 sides of the vehicle. X4  Safety Marks Placarding Requirements Aside from placards, a large means of containment must also display the UN number of the dangerous goods if: An ERAP is required; or It is a liquid or gas in direct contact with the large means of containment. For example, a highway tank transporting UN1263, Paint. The liquid (paint) is in contact with the tank (large means of containment). or Example of UN number on label  Safety Marks Placarding Requirements Placards must be placed on all 4 sides  Safety Marks Placarding Requirements X 4 Placards Safety Marks intermediate bulk container (IBC) with a capacity greater than 450 L but less than or equal to 3 000 L, may display 2 placards with the UN number 1830 or 4 class labels on 4 sides of the tote  Safety Marks Who Is Responsible For Removing Or Changing Dangerous Goods Safety Marks?  Safety Marks The person having the charge, management or control of the means of containment must determine whether the dangerous goods safety marks must be changed or removed. In addition, the person who neutralizes the contents of the means of containment or who unloads, unpacks, cleans or purges the means of containment must cover or remove the dangerous goods safety marks when the danger is no longer present in the means of containment.  Safety Marks DANGER placards are optional. DANGER When the DANGER placard is permitted to be displayed on a large means of containment, a person may continue to display that placard, in place of any other placard, until the large means of containment no longer contains any of the dangerous goods identified by that placard. The large means of containment (Truck) contains two or more dangerous goods that require different placards; and the dangerous goods loaded into the large means of containment (i.e. vehicle, etc.) are contained in two or more small means of containment.  Safety Marks DANGER The DANGER placard must not be displayed on a large means of containment for the following classes of dangerous goods; (a) dangerous goods that have a gross mass greater than 1,000 kg, are included in the same class and are offered for transport by one consignor; (b) dangerous goods that require an emergency response assistance plan; (c) dangerous goods included in Class 1, Explosives; (d) dangerous goods included in Class 2.3, Toxic Gases; (e) dangerous goods included in Class 4.3, Water-reactive Substances; (f) dangerous goods included in Class 5.2, Organic Peroxides, Type B, liquid or solid, that require a control or emergency temperature; (g) dangerous goods included in Class 6.1, Toxic Substances, that are subject to special provision 23; and (h) dangerous goods included in Class 7, Radioactive Materials, that require a Category III Yellow label. Safety Marks Shipment over 500 kgs containing different classes may use the Danger Placard. However certain classes must be placarded with their own class placard.  UN Packaging Dangerous goods have special transport requirements to eliminate or minimize risks. All dangerous goods need to have proper packaging and labeling, they need to be stored, loaded and stowed in a proper way and require special handling throughout the whole transportation chain. A person must not handle, offer for transport or transport dangerous goods in a means of containment that is required or permitted unless the means of containment is designed, constructed, filled, closed, secured and maintained so that under normal conditions of transport, including handling, there will be no release of the dangerous goods that could endanger public safety.  UN Packaging Packaging Standards  In Canada, there are two packaging standards: ◦ Safe packaging ◦ UN approved packaging  Standardized (UN) packaging requires: ◦ Performance testing of all aspects ◦ Applies tests to entire package Dangerous Goods MUST NEVER be packaged with other dangerous goods or non dangerous goods if they could mix or react to cause a hazard.  UN Packaging Selecting and using MoC. ◦ Must be permitted by part 5, must be in standard (compatible with contents) o Safety marks must be visible and legible. o Shipments must be loaded and secured so as to prevent spills. o Must not be overfilled. o Must be UN approved o Small MoC: < than or = to 450 L capacity o Large MoC: > than 450 L capacity  Means of Containment - Small Small means of containment are containers with a capacity less than or equal to 450 L. They may be drums, jerricans, boxes, pails, bags, barrels, cylinders or intermediate bulk containers (IBC). Drum Box Cylinder  Means of Containment - Large Large means of containment are containers with a capacity greater than 450L. They may be highway tanks, tank cars, intermediate bulk containers (IBC), portable tanks or tubes.

A employee may also be required to prove competency in the event of an inspection to ensure that the training information has been retained and is being applied correctly. Training Certificates are not transferable  Training Training Certificate John Smith Company A 123 Smith Street Oakville, ON L3B 2K0 June 13, 2018 June 13, 2021  Storage of Dangerous Goods The temporary or long-term storage of dangerous goods in a facility, necessitates careful planning, supervision and continued due diligence. While the major disasters in Beirut and Tianjin have been widely reported, there are many other incidents around the globe that do not garner the same attention, but which have the potential to escalate. There are existing international, national and local regulations for dangerous goods in transit for various modes of transport but there is no direct equivalent for warehouses.” 63  Storage of Dangerous Goods On 4 August 2020, a large amount of ammonium nitrate stored at the Port of Beirut in the capital city of Lebanon exploded, causing at least 218 deaths, 7,000 injuries, and US$15 billion in property damage, as well as leaving an estimated 300,000 people homeless. It was detected by the United States Geological Survey as a seismic event of magnitude 3.3 and is considered one of the most powerful artificial non-nuclear explosions in history. It was powerful enough to affect Earth's atmosphere. Storage of Dangerous Goods  Storage of Dangerous Goods A number of safety factors have arisen in how goods are stored and the facilities where they are stored. Given the increased volumes of dangerous goods transported in Canada from warehouses, and the occurrence of both major and minor incidents, some industry groups have joined to issue guidance on safe storage and handling of dangerous goods in warehouses, including port and terminal facilities. Storage of Dangerous Goods 28 charges relating to the warehouse fires  Storage of Dangerous Goods Storage Practices USE approved containers. Be aware of any special venting requirements (e.g. for flammables, corrosives). DO NOT STORE incompatible materials together. Dangerous combinations include: Acids + Bases Flammables + Oxidizers Water Reactive + Aqueous Solutions DO NOT STORE chemicals in alphabetical order, except within a grouping of compatible chemicals. DO NOT STORE materials in a fume hood unless the hood is dedicated to that purpose. DO NOT STORE chemicals in a domestic refrigerator or freezer.  Storage of Dangerous Goods Examples of Hazard-Specific Guidelines Corrosives (Acids/Bases) USE only the type of container recommended by the manufacturer. STORE acids and bases separately. STORE oxidizing acids (e.g. nitric, perchloric) away from other acids. Flammables ELIMINATE sources of ignition. BOND and GROUND metal containers/cylinders. STORE in approved flammable storage cabinet, fridge or freezers, according to the fire code and as recommended by the manufacturer. KEEP away from oxidizing materials.  Storage of Dangerous Goods Compressed Gases SECURE cylinders to a wall or rack in an upright position. STORE empty cylinders in a separate location, clearly marked "empty". PROTECT cylinder bottoms from corrosion by keeping area dry. DO NOT STORE for extended periods of time  Loading and Handling Transport Canada creates new mandatory registry for dangerous goods sites.  Loading and Handling The Government of Canada is creating a new Transportation of Dangerous Goods Registration Database and will require persons who import, offer for transport, handle or transport dangerous goods in Canada to register themselves and the sites where they carry out such activities. Registered persons will have to provide administrative information about themselves and information about the dangerous goods and operations at the sites where dangerous goods are imported, offered for transport, handled or transported (called a TDG site). It is estimated there are anywhere from 42,000 to 82,000 TDG sites operating across Canada.  Loading and Handling “A person must load and secure dangerous goods in a means of containment and load and secure a means of containment on a means of transport in such a way to prevent, under normal conditions of transport, damage to the means of containment or the means of transport that could lead to an accidental release of the dangerous goods.” Loading and Handling Would you consider this load to be secure?  Loading and Handling Proper Cabinet for storing flammable liquids Loading and Handling  Accidental Release and Reporting A Dangerous Occurrence is the release of a dangerous good that exceeds a set quantity and/or endangers life, health, property or the environment.
