Transportation of Dangerous Goods
TDG History
In November 1979, the second most important
dangerous goods transportation accident in Canada occurred in Mississauga,
Ontario.
A freight train derailed in
a densely populated area and a dozen different dangerous goods were
released.
Despite the importance of the accident, no one
died. However, over 200,000 people were evacuated for several days.
The
first TDG Act was created in 1980. Its area of application was described
in terms of the
National Transportation Act and was intended to
cover "surface" transportation, which is road and rail.
The first TDG Regulations were published in 1985. The
Regulations were often modified; however, in general, they appeared to
work.
Finally, a near final version was proposed in
August 2000, in Part I of the Canada Gazette.
A year of public
consultation followed on the proposed text. On August 15, 2001,
the
"final" version was published in Part II of the Canada Gazette and the new
regulations came into force in August.
