OTTAWA -- Transport Canada plans to amend the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations, temporarily requiring truckers to report the loss or theft of or other unlawful interference of dangerous goods.
The Interim Order is meant to immediately alert authorities of potential security threats during high profile events across Canada next year, particularly the Olympic Games in Vancouver and the G8 Summit in Huntsville, Ont.
The TDG regs do not currently include any provision for reporting these incidents.
If approved, the order will remain in force for two years after the day on which it is made.
When an incident report is made to CANUTEC in accordance with the Interim Order, a listing of certain information is required, including names and addressed of the carrier, shipper, consignee, classification of the dangerous goods and quantity and description of container.
