TDG Olympic Planning
The TDG program has an established and mature risk program. This includes: proper classification of dangerous goods, inspection and inspection site prioritization, and additional specific requirements for transportation of the most dangerous of dangerous goods (example, Emergency Response Assistance Plans).

TDG started its Olympic surface (road and rail) Olympic planning in early 2007. This includes a comprehensive scalable planning approach to the safe and secure transportation of dangerous goods.

As part of its Olympic planning, many activities were undertaken, including:

• Safety and Security Threat Risk Assessments completed

• National and Regional Stakeholders engaged and consulted

• Dangerous Goods Sites mapped and visits conducted by Transportation of Dangerous Goods inspectors and Remedial Measures Specialists.

• Dangerous goods products entering the ports reviewed.

• Dangerous goods products being transported by rail reviewed.

• Road survey conducted (movements of dangerous goods on routes and bridges).

• Plume modeling conducted on dangerous goods being transported by various modes of transport.
