Classroom based training provides candidates the opportunity to discuss related product specific issues or work processes for their workplaces.
Recently, Canada aligned WHMIS regulations with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The WHMIS 2015 legislation is currently in force, meaning that suppliers may begin to use the new requirements for labels and safety data sheets (SDSs) for hazardous products sold, distributed, or imported into Canada. However, there is a transition period with various stages.
