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).

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.

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.
