Summer is nearly upon us! Having your summer staff properly trained is essential to the operation and safety of your business.

Use the handy list below to ensure that your staff has the appropriate training and certifications:

☐ Anhydrous Ammonia: Retailer Safe Handling & TDG Certification

• This course is designed to promote the safe transportation and handling of anhydrous ammonia at an agri-retail location or distribution center. Once training is completed, certification is valid for three years!

☐ TDG Fundamentals: Retailer TDG Certification

• This course has been developed for CAAR using Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) classes found in agri-retail businesses to assist retailers in complying with the TDG Act and Regulations. Once training is completed, certification is valid for three years!

☐ WHMIS 2015

• This version of WHMIS is based on the federal WHMIS 2015 regulations in effect as of December 1, 2018, after the end of the transition period. While WHMIS certification does not expire, it is best practice to complete WHMIS training annually.
