The most common connection issue is when your company has a firewall or network that blocks the connection to www.goto.com (GoToWebinar).
If your system does not allow you to join when you click "join webinar" in your confirmation email:
Check if you are connecting through a network to access the internet. If you sign in to a network, most likely that network is blocking your connection. Contact your IT Department for assistance.
Connect to the internet without logging in to your network.
Alternately you may choose to take the webinar from home on your home computer that is not associated with your work network or firewall.

Yes! Our DGI webinar courses teach you the process of shipping dangerous goods. ALL DGI workbooks and webinar programs follow this process which includes referencing current and applicable regulations. We do NOT provide you with the regulations for webinar courses. The way we operate is to provide you with a workbook or a compendium of the slides in the program, walk you through the process of identification, classification, marking, labeling, documentation, placarding and segregation, using select examples from the regulations, and then assume when you’re done with training you will consult a current copy of the applicable regulations in order to determine your shipments compliance with the rules. See the suppliers above to purchase the applicable regulations for your shipping needs.
