TDG new site registration. Do you need to register? What else is coming

Public safety depends on Transport Canada (TC) knowing who is importing, offering for transport, handling, or transporting dangerous goods (DG) activities in Canada, what, when, and how, so we can mitigate risks. In response to recommendations from the Office of the Auditor General of Canada, TC is introducing new regulatory Site Registration Requirements through the Client Identification Database (CID) for organizations involved in DG activities to register and share information about their activities. Those who handle, offer for transport, transport or import dangerous goods will be required to register with CID. The CID created a major ripple among Canadian industry when it was first proposed. It should help Transport Canada get a clearer picture of dangerous goods operations across Canada and be a useful tool in improving the TDGR and related safety systems. This presentation will provide an overview on who, how and when do you need to register with CID.  We will also highlight upcoming new training requirements and how we established the boundaries between TDG and other regulations such as WHIMS.
