WHMIS 2015

WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Material Information System) is to provide workers with the information they need to stay safe on the job. It provides workers on how hazardous a product is and it ensures Canada-wide communication standards to protect workers who handle the hazardous chemicals.

The WHMIS2015 legislation is currently "In force". The manufacturer, distributor, or supplier of a product is responsible for product labeling and information. The employer is responsible for educating you on the safe handling of hazardous products you use.

This course will familiarize you with the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System, new rules that have been implemented, and how the system works, including the safe use and handling of all the hazardous products in your workplace.
