WHMIS Training

Our WHMIS training is offered everywhere in Montreal, in your company, on your equipment. The course adapts to your workers and can be given in French, English and Spanish. Thanks to our WHMIS trainer, your employees will know how to use, handle, store and safely dispose of the various hazardous materials present in your workplace.

The definition of WHMIS 

The definition of WHMIS is simple: this acronym stands for Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System. It aims to classify and label dangerous products used in companies. Its first version from 1988 was modified in 2015 to incorporate the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). In this way, the labeling and classification of these products is carried out in a clear and unambiguous way.

Thus, the WHMIS material safety data sheet becomes clear for everyone, throughout Canada. It contains all the information needed to properly classify and use hazardous materials. Calling on a WHMIS trainer therefore becomes essential for any factory or manufacturing company using hazardous products.

Here are the main concepts taught to your employees by our WHMIS trainer: 

• The definition of WHMIS
• The WHMIS Material Safety Data Sheet
• Important information on labels and MSDS
• The requirements and components of WHMIS 1988 and WHMIS 2015
• Federal and Provincial WHMIS Legislation
• Safe handling, handling and storage of hazardous materials in the workplace
• Safe disposal of these hazardous materials
• The different stakeholders and their responsibilities

Our WHMIS training lasts 4 hours and offers varied content, taking the form of lectures, scenarios, explanatory videos and group discussions. A written exam is given at the end of the training to validate the knowledge of the participants.
