Safety should never get lost in translation. Danatec’s trusted Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) online training now supports French and Punjabi (ਪੰਜਾਬੀ) alongside English across four role-specific, competency-based courses. This multilingual expansion provides critical safety training at no additional cost, better serving Canada’s diverse workforce in transportation, logistics, and construction.
One course, three languages, zero barriers
Our new built-in language toggle allows learners to choose Punjabi, French or English at the start and switch seamlessly anytime, even mid-course. This means, there’s no need to purchase separate course versions or worry about assigning the wrong course. Every learner gets the same high-quality content, regardless of language choice.
This approach makes training easier for managers and more inclusive for learners. From the first click, you can learn TDG in the language you understand best.
Why native language learning improves safety
Workers trained in their first language score higher on exams, retain knowledge longer and apply what they learn more effectively on the job. They are more likely to follow safety procedures consistently, and spot hazards, and use personal protective equipment (PPE) correctly.
By offering our TDG comptency-based training in Punjabi, French, and English, we help eliminate language barriers that can cause costly mistakes, while boosting learner confidence and workplace safety.
