What is WHMIS?

WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) is Canada’s national hazard classification and information standard. It is required that all employees who may come in contact with hazardous materials at work have WHMIS training.

The elements of the WHMIS system include proper labeling of controlled products, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and worker training programs. For more information on WHMIS, visit Health Canada's Official National Site.
