WHMIS & the GHS Employee Training - Canada

The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is Canada's national hazard communication standard designed to protect workers who handle or are exposed to hazardous materials. Aligned with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), WHMIS ensures quality and consistency in how chemicals are classified and labeled, helping employees quickly understand critical safety information about workplace hazards. This comprehensive training program covers the three essential elements of WHMIS: hazard classification systems, container labeling requirements, and Safety Data Sheets (SDS). Participants will learn to recognize physical and health hazard classes, interpret pictograms and signal words on labels, understand what information appears on container labels and why it matters, and navigate all 16 sections of a Safety Data Sheet to find crucial safety information. The course explains how WHMIS integrates with the GHS to provide a unified approach to chemical safety, ensuring employees can work safely with hazardous materials while maintaining compliance with Canadian regulations. This training is essential for any worker who may encounter hazardous products in their workplace.
