TDG Road Blitz

Print this Article

Every year, federal inspectors attend the Transport Canada (TC) Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Road Blitz, being held this year September 17-21. Federal inspectors attend the TDG Road Blitz for one week to support provincial/territorial inspectors by providing additional subject matter expertise in relation to TDG by road.

By providing a national perspective of the situations present on Canada’s roads, the TDG Road Blitz helps to better determine a risk-based approach to enforcement as well as foster better working relationships with Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Officers (CVEO) nationwide.

The TDG Road Blitz serves as a platform to evaluate the trends CVEO and federal inspectors discover with the data collected, including:

classes of dangerous goods handled, offered for transport and/or imported,
most commonly found UN numbers,
requirements of emergency response assistance plans, and
whether the company has an equivalency certificate (permit).
