LANGAUGE

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 all workers.

Overview

During this course we will review and discuss the following topics:

  1. How to recognize the pictograms (symbols) and understand the hazards that they represent.

  2. How to Identify the hazards represented by each hazard class.

  3. How to find additional information about hazards and protective measures on safety data sheets (SDS).

Required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Participants must wear appropriate clothing, as well as CSA-certified head, foot, and eye protection. We ask that you bring your own personal protective equipment (PPE) and that it is maintained and in good working order per the manufacturer’s specifications and regulatory requirements.
