Particularly customer service, ongoing training and liaison with agencies, whenever disposal is required to comply, not only with “Best Practices” but Regulatory and Legislative requirements in Canada as well as the U.S. Like many industries, we are registered as “Generators” of waste on rare occasions, so minimizing cost is essential to the bottom line in business.

What is the difference between a Gap Analysis and a full Onsite Regulatory Audit?

A Gap Analysis evaluates your overall compliance programs, documentation, and procedures against current federal and provincial regulations (such as TDG, 49 CFR, WHMIS, or HazCom) to pinpoint missing elements and outline corrective steps. An Onsite Regulatory Audit involves a specialist physically inspecting your facility, storage areas, and handling practices firsthand to identify operational risks and compliance gaps that written reviews alone might miss.

How can Global HazMat help if my company receives a Non-Compliance Order or Notice of Violation?

If a regulatory body issues a inspection finding or notice of non-compliance, our team provides fast-acting support. We help interpret the order, draft compliant corrective action responses, update necessary safety documentation, and implement operational fixes on site to close out the violation cleanly and efficiently.

Why should we outsource our Safety Data Sheet (SDS) review and product classifications?

Improper chemical classification or outdated Safety Data Sheets can result in severe transportation delays, heavy fines, or hazardous safety incidents. Our specialists review and author SDSs to comply strictly with WHMIS and OSHA HazCom standards, ensuring accurate GHS hazard classifications, complete regulatory sections, and proper Transporting Dangerous Goods (TDG / 49 CFR) shipping descriptions.

Do your auditing services cover cross-border dangerous goods shipments into the United States?

Yes. We provide full-scope support and auditing under U.S. DOT 49 CFR regulations, as well as Canadian TDG regulations. We review classification, packaging, hazard labeling, safety marks, shipping documentation, and transport security plans to ensure your cross-border shipments remain compliant and audit-ready from origin to destination.
