The Theory-only would be good as a refresher for someone who has already taken Cargo Securement training in the past.. 

Hey there all you Cats!!!  Following-up on my post about changes to TDG Training/Legislation...  The Canadian General Standards Board (CGSB) has released CAN/CGSB-192.3-2020: TDG Training, Assessment & Competency Training Standard.  Within this standard you will find that there will be a requirement for the Employer to create a Task List, define the specific tasks that relate to TDG, and then ensure competency & compliance through a series of "practical evaluations/demonstrations" related to each task for each Employee involved in TDG...  

This is a large change to TDG! 

I can help you in 2 ways: 

1) I can deliver the theory/awareness training AND oversee the practical evaluations after you have created the job-specific task-list (I can help with the list too)... or

2) I can deliver the theory/awareness training, provide you with a guidance-document to conduct the practical evaluations, and then come and perform a summary-audit of your practical compliance efforts, to determine if you have met compliance requirements...

From the info I can find, the expectation for this to be in-place is Q#3 or Q#4, 2023...

Please contact me directly and we can discuss how I can hep...  Have a Safe Day!!!  #thesafetycat
