Regulations Amending the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (Emergency Response Assistance Plan) were published in Part I of the Canada Gazette on Saturday, June 30. Interested persons may submit comments on the proposed Regulations by August 30. Transport Canada has signed an agreement with the Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) to return the TP 14877 standard to a National Standard of Canada under the CGSB (CAN/CGSB-43.147). The intent is to publish the new CAN/CGSB 43.147 standard by the end of March 2020. As a trusted partner in safety, the CPA has been advised that because of the recent alignment with the other Canadian provinces on the Power Engineers, Boiler, Pressure Vessel and Refrigeration Safety Regulation, Technical Safety BC requires that all power engineer, operator and safety awareness certificates of qualification must be renewed.
