Placarding
TDG 4.15(2) is up for discussion again. Transport Canada is stating that a change to the regs is being considered and it should harmonize with 49 CFR.
Transport Canada is also suggesting that the "inspector community" should take the least restrictive of options available in TDG, i.e. return to using the DANGER placard.
Is anyone at Transport Canada, MACTDG or NCWG talking to emergency responders? Just what does the DANGER placard tell them?
And if the shipping document is destroyed and the driver transported to hospital, how is the public safety served by use of the DANGER placard?
How about a novel idea? Now that the author of "Clear Language" is gone, adopt the UN Recommendations.
