A lot of these organizations are now thinking smart and thinking for the future. They are substituting these rooms for smaller rooms with servers and data storage devices in them. As a result, these digitized files are far more accessible by more people at any time or anywhere around the world. This has happened before &#8211; in the 20<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> century, many labor-intensive hours were used in an effort to preserve newspapers and old books by transferring them to microfilm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an effort to minimize the labor-intensive hours and simplify the process, companies are cutting out the middle man. A perfect example of an industry that has begun this process years ago is the air industry. A customer\/client can purchase their plane ticket online and save it on their smart device, avoiding the step of printing the boarding pass. Efforts have been made by IATA to introduce their Travel Pass Initiative, which is a uniform method surrounding any COVID-19 related information such as vaccines, to make this a part of the client travel documents\/boarding pass.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transport Canada has allowed dangerous goods documentation to be digital but, during actual transportation by the carrier, a hard copy has still been required. During this last year, there has been a pilot project between regulatory and industry to study the efficiency of carriers having digital copies on hand and how it may add to the safety on our roads.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, it seems the world is moving away from good old paper and moving into complete digital recordings. Our money, our files, our documentation, even our photos are all digital! It is a true rarity to find someone creating a traditional printed photo album anymore! We need to make sure we are ready for this move to the digital world. Companies need to have the necessary infrastructure and have employees trained on how to use the technology necessary to perform well in this new digital world.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please see below for additional information on Transport Canada and IATA\u2019s strategies:<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tc.canada.ca\/en\/dangerous-goods\/regulatory-sandbox-electronic-shipping-documents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Regulatory sandbox on electronic shipping documents<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">IATA &#8211; Travel Pass Initiative<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/newsletter-signup\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay up to date and sign up for our newsletter!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>We have all the products, services and training you need to ensure your staff is properly trained and informed.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/forms\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-209383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/ICC_Forms_Bill-of-LandingCAN-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/forms\/\">Forms<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/training-courses\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-853592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/WB-CLR13R-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/training-courses\/\">Training Courses<\/a><\/td>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/publications\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-853845\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/BK-IATA21-2-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/publications\/\">Regulatory Publications<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Public and Government organizations are noticeably switching their hard copy of records to digital copies in the last several years.\u00a0&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12601,"featured_media":857800,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2494,5088,5076,5074,5070,5069,4008,4000,2413,2402],"tags":[2643,2574,2496,2362,2455,2443,2429,2407,2368,2366,2364],"class_list":["post-857799","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iata-and-icao","category-documentation","category-iata","category-tdgr","category-air-transportation","category-ground-transportation","category-ground-road-and-rail-transport","category-air-transport-popular-topic","category-tdg-regulation-updates","category-safety-2","tag-imdg","tag-hazardous-materials","tag-shipping","tag-dangerous-goods","tag-iata","tag-safety","tag-regulations","tag-dot","tag-49-cfr","tag-tdg","tag-hazmat"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Digital Wave: Entering the Dangerous Goods Domain | ICC Compliance Center<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Find out if you and your company are prepared to move towards digital in the Dangerous Goods world.
