![]() ![]() The federal TDG Regulations apply to everyone. The regulations even apply when a member of the public transports dangerous goods such as gasoline, oxygen, and propane for personal use. However, certain exemptions exist for small quantities or for specific situations. In most cases, there are three main groups of people who handle, offer for transport, or transport dangerous goods who must comply with TDG. Consignors - Anyone whose shipping name is on the shipping document or imports or has possession of the dangerous goods immediately before shipping dangerous goods such as manufacturers, distributors, or members of the public. Carriers - Anyone who transports the dangerous goods such as trucking companies, air cargo companies, marine shipping companies, and members of the public. Consignees - Anyone who receives the dangerous goods from a consignor or carrier. How do I know if a product is regulated under the TDG Regulations?
