Since 1988, WHMIS has been Canada’s hazard communication system for workplace chemicals. WHMIS is changing to adopt new international standards for classifying hazardous chemicals and providing information on labels and safety data sheets. These new international standards are part of the Globally Harmonized System for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) and are being phased in across Canada between February 2015 and December 2018. The reformed GHS compliant version of WHMIS is referred to as WHMIS 2015. WHMIS 1988 (the original version) will remain in force until its phase out date in December 2018. ACUTE’s WHMIS 2015 (GHS) navigates the new and old versions of the WHMIS regulations to help workers, supervisors and employers recognize and appropriately control the hazards associated with hazardous products.

Who should enroll in this training program?
WHMIS training is mandatory for any worker who works with or is potentially exposed to hazardous products in the workplace. This training program will also be of interest to new hires, Joint Health and Safety Committee members and any worker who wishes to have a deeper understanding of the new provisions of the Globally Harmonized System as well the requirements mandated by the province’s WHMIS legislation.
ACUTE was established in 1995 when a group of experienced environmental contractors took their knowledge and experience gained from years of field work to create a company that would ultimately serve its clientele.
By providing comprehensive health and safety training, consulting and on-site safety services. Early in ACUTE’s history we completed a series of large-scale environmental projects such as decommissioning of Great Lakes lighthouse Fresnel lamps.
Which involved the removal of substantial quantities of toxic liquid mercury from lamp ballasts and contaminated surfaces. Projects such as these demanded very detailed safety and logistics planning and served as the primary catalyst for ACUTE’s rise.
To becoming a leader in health and safety services for Canadian workplaces. Health and safety training soon became and remains to this day ACUTE’s premier area of service.
To further strengthen our safety training services we have established one of the province’s best worker training facilities to complement in class training with hands-on practical competency testing.
