The TDG regulations have always required workers to be trained in topics that relate directly to the duties they perform and the dangerous goods they handle. Now there's infrastructure built to match — structured, layered, and defensible by design.
Modern compliance isn't organized around courses. It's organized around workers — their duties, their responsibilities, and the record that proves they're ready.
Every TDG worker starts here. Foundational regulatory knowledge that establishes the baseline — hazard classes, documentation, safety marks, and responsibilities.
Danatec · 1M+ LearnersRole-mapped competency modules assigned based on the duties each worker actually performs. Not everyone handles the same goods or carries out the same tasks.
11 Competency ModulesInternal toolbox talks, site procedures, equipment training — logged directly into the worker's compliance record with supervisor verification.
Employer-Logged · VerifiedAll layers converge in a single, structured, exportable compliance record per worker — ready for audits, inspections, and internal review at any time.
● Always CurrentGeneral Awareness Training provides the foundational regulatory knowledge required under the TDG regulations. This program has been trusted by over one million workers across Canada — and it's where every compliance record begins.
After completing this layer, workers have a verified, scored, digital record of their baseline TDG knowledge — automatically captured in their compliance record and tracked for renewal over a 3-year cycle.
After completing General Awareness Training, workers receive targeted training components based on the duties they perform and the dangerous goods they handle. Employers assign these competencies according to each worker's role — ensuring training is always relevant, not just generalized.
Workers learn how to correctly identify and classify dangerous goods according to TDG regulations, including primary and subsidiary hazard class determination.
Covers recognition and correct application of labels, placards, and other safety marks required for dangerous goods containers and means of containment.
Covers selection of appropriate packaging for dangerous goods, including UN-certified containers and compatibility requirements for hazardous materials.
Instruction on the types of containers and vessels used to transport dangerous goods, along with inspection requirements and regulatory standards.
Guidance on correct assembly and marking of overpacks, including requirements for visibility of markings and compatibility of goods within a single overpack.
Covers proper loading procedures, weight distribution, segregation requirements, and securing of dangerous goods within transport containers.
Step-by-step instruction on completing TDG shipping documents accurately, including required fields, proper descriptions, and document retention obligations.
Workers learn when an Emergency Response Assistance Plan is required, how to reference it on shipping documents, and who is responsible.
Covers in-transit obligations including route requirements, documentation availability, driver responsibilities, and monitoring of goods during shipment.
Safe unloading procedures including inspection on arrival, documentation reconciliation, and proper handling of damaged or leaking containers.
Covers worker responsibilities during a dangerous goods incident, including reporting obligations, initial response, and coordination with emergency services.
The platform continuously monitors each worker's training status and automatically acts when something needs attention — so compliance gaps don't slip through the cracks.
When an employer assigns a new duty to a worker, the corresponding competency module is automatically added to their training queue — no manual intervention needed.
The system tracks expiry dates and schedules recurrent training before a certificate lapses — ensuring no worker falls out of compliance due to an oversight.
If new dangerous goods are introduced to operations, the platform identifies which workers handle them and assigns the applicable competency training automatically.
When updates affect a specific competency area, the platform can trigger supplementary training for workers whose duties overlap with the updated content.
Organizations conduct internal training every day — toolbox talks, site orientations, equipment procedures, safety protocols. This layer ensures that training lives in the compliance record alongside everything else.
Internal sessions logged here appear alongside Danatec and WKT-issued training in the worker's compliance record — visually distinct but fully integrated.
Every internal session captures who delivered the training, what was assessed, and who verified it — creating an auditable chain of evidence.
Supervisors and training managers log sessions directly. Access is role-based so the right people can update records without compromising record integrity.
Internal training is included in the exported compliance summary — so an auditor sees a complete, layered record, not just external certifications.
All training activity — external learning and internal sessions — is captured in a single worker compliance record. This record can be exported at any time to demonstrate training adequacy during audits or inspections.

Trigger events tracked automatically — assigned and completed dates logged to the compliance record
Training content alone does not ensure compliance. The TDG regulations require workers to be trained in topics that relate directly to the duties they perform and the dangerous goods they handle. Employers must also maintain records demonstrating that training has occurred.
This platform organizes training around workers, roles, and competencies — providing a clear and defensible compliance record that reflects exactly what the regulations have always asked for.
Worker-centric design means every training activity is mapped to a person, their duties, and their compliance status — not just a course completion date in a spreadsheet.
Training content alone does not ensure compliance. This platform provides the structured architecture that connects every training activity to the worker it belongs to — and builds the record that proves it.
Three defined layers organized around how the regulations actually think about training — not how course catalogues are built.
Training is assigned based on what each worker actually does — not distributed uniformly to everyone regardless of their duties.
Internal sessions are logged, verified, and integrated into the compliance record — not lost in a filing cabinet or spreadsheet tab.
New duties, new goods, recurrent requirements, and guidance updates automatically generate the right training assignment for the right workers.
One exportable, audit-ready record per worker — every layer of training, verification, and compliance status in a single view.
Record integrity verification, audit logs, and timestamped exports mean you can demonstrate training adequacy at any time, to anyone who asks.
Replace disconnected courses and spreadsheets with a structured, subscription-based compliance platform that grows with your workforce obligations.
For teams getting started with structured worker compliance records. Up to 25 workers.
For mid-size operators managing layered TDG compliance across multiple roles and locations.
For large employers, fleet operators, and multi-site organizations with complex TDG obligations.
