What is considered Dangerous Goods?

• Dangerous Good are materials or items with hazardous properties, which if not properly controlled, present a potential hazard to human health, the environment or infrastructure.

How do I know if my product is Dangerous Goods?

• The first step is to obtain a copy of the Safety Data Sheet for your product.

• Next flip to the Transportation Section (Usually Section 14). You'll want to look at the details listed beside each mode of transport. If there's a UN # listed beside the mode of transport, it's DG. If it says Unregulated or Not Restricted, it is not. Still unclear? Give us a call (905) 564-2453 or e-mail info@dgcontrol.com and we'll take a look for you.
