6.3(1) An employer who has reasonable grounds to believe that an employee is adequately trained and will perform duties to which the training relates must issue a training certificate to the employee that includes the following information:
(a) the name and address of the place of business of the employer;
(b) the employee’s name;
(c) the date the training certificate expires, preceded by the words “Expires on” or “Date d’expiration”; and
(d) the aspects of handling, offering for transport or transporting dangerous goods for which the employee is trained, including the specific topics set out in section 6.2.
(2) A self-employed person who has reasonable grounds to believe that he or she is adequately trained and who will perform duties to which the training relates must issue to himself or herself a training certificate that includes the information required by subsection (1).
(3) The training certificate must be signed
(a) by the employee and by the employer or another employee acting on behalf of the employer; or
(b) in the case of a self-employed person, by that person.
(4) Despite subsection (1), if the employer of a person who is a member of a ship’s complement has reasonable grounds to believe that the person’s certificate of competency issued in accordance with the “Marine Certification Regulations” is acceptable evidence that the person is adequately trained, the employer is not required to issue the training certificate. The certificate of competency is a valid training certificate for the purposes of these Regulations when the certificate of competency is valid in Canada.
