Members be aware that Section 3.6.1 Consignor’s Certification of the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulation specifies the declaration language that is required on a shipping document. The Consignor, who is in possession of the dangerous goods before transport, is responsible for preparing the shipping documents and including this declaration. This is a common inspection point for Transport Canada when they visit your sites.
