WHMIS 2025 and TDG Online Training Bundle
Build a clear foundation for hazardous-product communication and Canadian dangerous-goods transport with Total Group’s online WHMIS 2025 and Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) bundle. The course is self-paced and covers the core concepts workers, supervisors, and shipping personnel may need before workplace-specific instruction is added.
What this online bundle covers
The WHMIS portion addresses the 2022 amendments to Canada’s Hazardous Products Regulations and the transition to the amended requirements described on the registration page. It covers hazard identification and classification, pictograms, supplier and workplace labels, safety data sheets, employer responsibilities, worker responsibilities, and workplace education and training. The course outline lists five chapters: what WHMIS is, product classification, labels, SDSs, and workplace education and training.
The TDG portion introduces the Canadian rules for handling, offering for transport, and transporting dangerous goods. Topics listed by the course include the nine classes of dangerous goods, packing groups, shipping names, compatibility groups, placards, UN numbers, labels, safety marks, packaging and means of containment, shipping documents, exemptions, Emergency Response Assistance Plans (ERAPs), reporting, and TDG schedules.
What you can apply at work
Use the WHMIS learning to practise a consistent information check before a product is used: identify the product, review the supplier or workplace label, find the current SDS, confirm the hazards and controls, and follow the employer’s procedures for storage, handling, disposal, spills, and emergencies. WHMIS education is portable, but the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety distinguishes it from workplace training, which covers the products, procedures, and emergency actions at your site. [1]
Use the TDG learning to recognize when a shipment needs a classification, shipping document, safety mark, approved means of containment, or other control. The exact duties depend on what the person handles, offers for transport, or transports. Transport Canada states that adequate TDG training must relate directly to the person’s duties and that the employer determines what training is adequate for each employee. [2]
Choose the right training level
- General WHMIS foundation: Suitable when a worker needs the system basics, labels, SDSs, hazard communication, and the responsibilities of employers and workers.
- TDG role-specific learning: Review the listed TDG topics against the person’s actual duties. A driver, shipper, receiver, warehouse worker, or supervisor may need different coverage.
- Workplace-specific follow-up: Add instruction on the products, storage areas, procedures, emergency contacts, spill response, equipment, and local rules used at the worksite. Online theory does not demonstrate practical competence with a particular workplace process.
For TDG work, do not treat the online course’s certificate of completion as the employer’s TDG training certificate. Transport Canada says the employer issues the certificate when there are reasonable grounds to believe the employee is adequately trained, and the certificate must identify the trained duties and other required details. A person without a valid certificate may work only under the direct supervision described in the TDG rules. [2] Employers should confirm the course content against the employee’s duties and their applicable provincial, territorial, or federal framework.
Course details
The registration page lists approximately 4.5 hours online: about 60 minutes for WHMIS 2025 and 3.5 hours for TDG. It lists activities, self-assessment questions, and a final exam. The listed pass mark is 80%, with up to three attempts. A certificate of completion is available for download after successful completion of the online course. These are course-platform details, not a promise that the course alone satisfies every employer, client, or jurisdictional requirement.
The Total Group training hub lists the bundle at $64.98. Confirm the current price and access terms on the WHMIS 2025 and TDG Bundle registration page before enrolling. [3]
Before you start
Ask your supervisor or safety lead which products and TDG tasks you will perform. Confirm whether you will handle, offer for transport, or transport dangerous goods, which modes and classes apply, and what workplace procedures you must know. Have access to the labels and SDSs for the products you use, your employer’s emergency and spill procedures, and any client or site requirements. If your work is federally regulated or crosses provincial or territorial boundaries, confirm the controlling requirements before relying on the course for a specific assignment. WHMIS workplace duties are implemented through federal, provincial, and territorial occupational health and safety frameworks. [4]
Questions to discuss with your employer
- Which hazardous products could I use, store, move, or encounter in an emergency?
- Which WHMIS workplace labels, SDSs, storage rules, and spill procedures apply to my area?
- Which TDG duties and dangerous-goods classes relate directly to my job?
- Who will confirm my workplace-specific training and issue any required TDG training certificate?
Frequently asked questions
Is this bundle online?
Yes. The registration page describes an online course that can play on common internet-capable devices. Confirm current access conditions on the registration page before purchase. [3]
Does WHMIS training replace site orientation?
No. General WHMIS education explains the system and hazard information. Workplace training must address the products, procedures, storage, handling, disposal, and emergency actions used at the workplace. [1]
Does completing the TDG module automatically issue my legal TDG certificate?
No automatic legal outcome should be assumed. Transport Canada states that the employer issues a TDG training certificate when it has reasonable grounds to believe the employee is adequately trained for the relevant duties. [2]
Is the bundle suitable for every Canadian workplace?
It provides a Canadian foundation, but suitability depends on the person’s duties, products, transport mode, employer program, worksite, and jurisdiction. Ask your employer or safety lead to confirm what additional training or assessment is required.
