Most DGs can be transported safely if

regulatory requirements are met.
Safe handling, proper packaging, job
specific training and properly declared DG
are essential in ensuring safe transport.

Classification of Dangerous Goods
dangerous goods are articles or

substances which are capable of
posing a risk to health, safety,
property
p p y or the environment and
which are shown in the list of
dangerous goods in the Regulations
or which are classified according to
the Regulations.
Classification
Each product is classified according to its properties
It is essential to understand how to use the classification
system and Schedule 1 (TDGR), Section 4.2 (IATA DRG)
Only personnel with TDG Training Course can receive or
ship dangerous goods
There are 9 classes
There are 3 packing groups (except for radioactive and
infectious materials)
PG I most dangerous
PG II dangerous
PG III least dangerous
Class 1 - Explosives
There are six (6) divisions, each
assigned based on the impact of the
explosion or the sensitivity of the
material
These include among others:
Detonators, charges, cartridges
Black p
powders,, nitro compounds,
p ,
explosives
All are in packing group II
Its unlikely that explosives will be
shipped/received by the U of Ottawa
Class 2 - Gases
Products that are transported under pressure or
maintained at a low enoughg temperature
p to keep
p it
in a liquid form.
Gases may be liquefied, dissolved or refrigerated
Aerosols
Division 2.1 flammable gases- (propane,
acetylene)
Division 2.2
2 2 non-flammable
non flammable and non-toxic
non toxic gases
(nitrogen, air)
Division 2.3 toxic gases
There are no packing groups

Class 3 Flammable Liquids
Includes liquids that can burn with an ignition
temperature
p < 65.6 oC
Examples includes among others:
Alkenes, petroleum products like diesel and kerosene
Alcohols
Packing group depends on the boiling point and volatility
Packing Group Flash Point Initial Boiling Point

PG I -- 35C
PG II < 23 C > 35 C
PG III 23 C
C 60
60CC > 35 C
C
Class 4 Flammable - other
Division 4.1 flammable solids (sulphur, phosphorous)
Division 4.2 product capable of spontaneous combustion

((activated carbon))
Packing group depends on combustion rate

Class
C ass 4 Flammable
a ab e - ot
other
e
Division 4.3 can react with water/humidity (pure

sodium,
di magnesium)
i )
Packing group depends on combustion rate

Class 5 Oxidizers and Peroxides
Division 5.1 oxidizers
Packing group depends on reaction violence
Examples: Chlorates & chlorites, nitrates & nitrites
Division 5.2 organic peroxides

Characteristics:
Sensitive to shock, can violently explode or react
Packing group II
Class 6 Toxic and Infectious
Division 6.1 likely to cause death (poison)
6.1 There are three (3) packing groups
Division 6.2 infectious
6.2 does not have packing groups
What is an infectious substance?

A substance known or reasonably y believed to contain viable micro-
organisms such as bacteria, viruses, rickettsia, parasites, fungi and other
agents such as prions that are known or reasonably believed to cause
disease in humans or animals (Part 1 TDGR)
Infectious material require approval from the Biosafety

Specialist prior to receipt or transfer (tel. ext. 3153)
Infectious Substances
Category A S
Catego Substances
bstances
Category B Substances
Medical and Clinical Wastes
Patient Specimens
Class 7 Radioactive Materials
There are 3 levels of radioactive sources:
Low level radiation (I)
Medium level radiation (II) Level I
High level radiation (III)
Transport Index (T.I.)
Comply to Canadian Nuclear Safety Level II

Commission (CNSC) requirements
Level III
Radioactive material require approval from the Radiation Safety
Specialist prior to receipt or transfer (tel. ext. 3057)
Class 8 - Corrosives
Includes acids, alkali, and substances that corrode
material or destroyy skin
Includes among others:
Power Plant Boiler water treatment products
Lab acids and alkali
There are 3 packing groups:
o Packing Group I (most hazardous)
Short exposure (< 3minutes) required to corrode material in < 1 hour
o Packing Group II (moderately hazardous)

Intermediate exposure (3-60 minutes) to corrode material in < 14 days
o Packing Group III (least hazardous)

Longer exposure (1-4 hours) required to corrode material in < 14 days
Class 9 - Miscellaneous
These products do not meet classification requirements
applicable
pp to Classes 1 to 8
Most are in Packing Group III
Includes among others:

Hazardous wastes
Loose asbestos
Waste oily water

Step
p2
Determine if the substance is forbidden by referring
to Schedule 1 (TDGR) or section 4.2 (IATA DGR)
Step 3
If the substance is not forbidden, classify it by
comparing its characteristics with classification
criteria described in section 3 (IATA DGR) or part 3
(TDGR)
Steps to take if specific name
d
does not appear iin the
h lilist
Step 4
Use the generic or n.o.s. proper shipping name which
most accurately describe the substance
Note: the * symbol in section 4.2 (IATA DGR) identifies Generic or
n.o.s. proper shipping names must be supplemented with the
technical or chemical group names in brackets ( ) immediately
following the proper shipping name.
The * symbol is not part of the shipping name and it is replaced by
the appropriate technical name which must be recognized chemical
name or used in scientific and technical handbooks.
For explosives of Class 1, the dangerous goods description may be
supplemented
l t db
by additional
dditi l descriptive
d i ti ttextt to
t indicate
i di t commercial
i l
or military names.
Mixtures and Solutions
Those with single hazard
For example: Isopropanol that has been diluted with

25% water would appear as:
Isoporpanol solution or Isoporpanol 75% solution.
mixture or solution must also be added to the

technical names of n.o.s. proper shipping names.
Mixtures and Solutions
Those with multiple hazard
A mixture or solution containing two or more dangerous goods,
whether listed or not, must be described by the appropriate n.o.s.

ll d iin parentheses,

h i l
names of not more than two of the constituents which most
predominantly contribute to the hazard(s).
If a subsidiary risk label is required, the technical names must
include the component which requires the use of subsidiary label(s).
label(s)
Qualifying words such as mixture, solution, should be added
where appropriate.
Example:
Engine cleaning mixture is not listed by name in the List of Dangerous Goods. It is
described as a mixture of gasoline and carbon tetrachloride having a flash point less
than 23C (73F) and meeting the definition of Division 6.1 (oral toxicity).
The primary hazard is Class 3 with a subsidiary risk of Division 6.1. Therefore, the
proper shipping name should be Flammable liquid, toxic, n.o.s. (Gasoline/Carbon
tetrachloride mixture), or Flammable liquid, toxic, n.o.s. (Gasoline/Carbon tetrachloride
solution).
