Under the TDGA, what must be done with accidents involving dangerous goods?

Under the TDGA, any accident involving dangerous goods must be reported to the appropriate authorities and your supervisor as soon as it is safe to do so. This requirement ensures a rapid, coordinated safety response, containment of any release or exposure, and a formal investigation to identify causes and prevent recurrence. Reporting helps ensure regulatory compliance and protects people and the environment. Ignoring minor incidents, keeping them confidential, or blaming others does not address the hazard or meet safety and legal obligations.
