WHMIS, or the Workplace Hazardous Information System, is the national system for providing health ans safety information on hazardous materials that are used, handled or storedin workplaces across Canada. WHMIS is implemented through a combination of complementary federal, provinincial and territorial laws. WHMIS has been in place since 1988. In 2015, Canada updated WHMIS to be aligned with GHS (the Globally Harmonized System of Classisfication and communication of hazards worldwide. This updated system is called "WHMIS 2015".

Anyone who works with or may come into contact with hazardous materials in their workplace has the legal responsibility to have WHMIS education and training. This may apply to a large variety of jobs, such as workers in manufacturing, hospitals and clinics, laboratories, janitorial workers, teachers and students in these environments and even retail workers in some cases.

Employers have the responsibility to ensure their workers receive WHMIS education and training. All workers must be trained in the handling, storage and safe use of hazardous products before they use, or exposed to, or likely to be exposed to them. Our course covers WHMIS education. WHMIS education includes learning about general information about the main parts of WHMIS and how it works. Employers must also provide site-specific training.

Employers are required to review their WHMIS program, including education and training, at least annually, and more often if there are changes in work conditions, hazard information or similar matters. Employers decide during the review if refresher education and training is necessary. As a worker, you should be able to answer the questions below for every hazardous product you use. If not, then refresher education and training is recommended. 1. What are the hazards of the product? 2. How do I protect myself from those hazards? 3. What do I do in the case of an emergency? 4. Where can I get further information? The general recommendation is that WHMIS training be completed at least annually.
