WHMIS is an active learning experience, using content and exercises to engage learners and reinforce key concepts. Mandatory testing ensures that participants have met learning objectives and retained the required knowledge.
DurationWHMIS 2015
Every worker who works with, or in proximity to, a hazardous product in the workplace must have Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) training. In February 2015, WHMIS was modified to align with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The “new” WHMIS is known as WHMIS 2015.
WHMIS 2015 is based on the current 2015 legislation and meets the legislated requirement for general WHMIS training. WHMIS 2015 has come into effect with a transition period that lasts several years. During this time, there may still be hazardous products in the workplace that use the “old” WHMIS 1988 labels, classifications and (Material) Safety Data Sheets. To address this situation, WHMIS 2015 also includes information about WHMIS 1988 hazard classification, labeling and communication.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of WHMIS 2015, participants will be able to:
Recognize the essential role WHMIS plays in protecting the health and safety of Canadian workers
Identify the WHMIS responsibilities of suppliers, employers, and workers
Understand how hazardous materials are classified under WHMIS 2015 (and under WHMIS 1988)
Know the workplace requirements related to the use of supplier labels and workplace labels, and how to locate and interpret the information found on these labels
Locate specific types of information about a hazardous material by reading the Safety Data Sheet
Identify the WHMIS exemptions for suppliers and importers
Know general safe work practices that should be followed when working with hazardous products
WHMIS is an active learning experience, using content and exercises to engage learners and reinforce key concepts. Mandatory testing ensures that participants have met learning objectives and retained the required knowledge.
Evaluation Process:
No participant can complete the course without verifying their understanding of the course material. Those who do not pass the test must review the content and re-test. There is no limit to the number of re-tests. Test questions are randomly selected from a test bank to ensure that re-tests will be unique.
Upon successfully completing the course, you will receive a certificate for your records.

This course study introduces workers to the new WHMIS 2015 for the safe use of control products and hazardous materials in the workplace. Instruction for understanding labels, Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and worker education will alert workers to the potential hazards of controlled products.
Program content has been designed to provide workers, supervisors and employers relevant information provided under WHMIS 2015 (GHS) about the safe handling, use and storage of hazardous materials in the workplace. Specific workplace examples are used wherever possible to enhance the relevance
The goal of this course is to convey particulars about health hazards, requirements for worker protection, safe work procedures, inspection criteria used to identify and control worker exposure to hazardous materials in the workplace.
Participants learn the meaning of hazard class symbols as well as the general hazards and required precautions for each hazard class. Supplier and workplace label requirements are covered.
