WHMIS Training
WHMIS stands for the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System. It is a comprehensive system for providing health and safety information on hazardous products intended for use, handling, or storage in Canadian workplaces. As of December 2018 Canada has aligned the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), now known as WHMIS 2015.
The purpose of WHMIS is to ensure employers and workers receive consistent and comprehensive health and safety information about the hazardous products they may be exposed to at work.
The Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) requires employers to ensure hazardous products are identified, to obtain safety data sheets and make them available in the workplace and to provide instruction and training to workers.
Our WHMIS 2015 course ensures your workers receive training and instruction on the WHMIS 2015 system. Upon completion participants will:
Understand WHMIS labels
Recognize the pictograms (symbols) and understand the hazards that they represent
Identify the hazards represented by each hazard class
Find additional information about hazards and protective measures on safety data sheets (SDS).
What We Do
Safety First Consulting Professional Corporation provides a total solution service to our clients. Our proactive approach drives preventative rather than reactive actions that aid in the prevention of incidents and accidents.
Safety program developers will learn how to develop a hazard management system.
In this course students (research assistants) will be taken into the lab of a scientist. Unfortunately, the scientist has not labeled all of his chemicals. He needs the help of the students to figure out what materials are needed and how to complete the reactions without any accidents or spills.
The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System 2015 (WHMIS) is Canada's national hazard communication standard. The key elements of the system are cautionary labeling of containers of WHMIS "controlled products", the provision of material safety data sheets (MSDSs), and worker education.
