The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) was first introduced in 1988 and was modified in 2015 to align with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The goal of GHS is to have a common set of rules for classifying and labeling hazardous products as well as a standard format for safety data sheets (SDS).
This half-day course will cover the key elements of the WHMIS 2015 systems of classification and labeling of chemicals. Specifically, this course will provide participants with guidance on the process of chemical classification and hazards communication through the use of labels and Safety Data Sheets. Responsibilities and hazard pictograms are also reviewed.
About the NLCSA
The NLCSA is an industry-driven, not-for-profit corporation committed to providing cost-effective, affordable, and accessible safety training and advisory services to the construction industry in the province.
First announced in November 1996, the creation of the NLCSA was a major initiative of the federally-sponsored Industrial Adjustment Service (IAS) Committee and its predecessor, the Construction Industry Forum (CIF).
Specifically, the IAS program was a Canada-wide process used in both the public and private sectors to assist communities, industry sectors, and private companies in facing challenges brought about by technological changes, staffing reductions, lack of profitability, and other economic and human resource circumstances.
Through these forums, each of the major industry, labour, and professional groups within the construction sector came together to discuss ways to address such problems that plague the industry.
WHMIS 2015 (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) course is offered by Puglisevich.
