Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) Parts 1-2

The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) makes hazardous material information uniformly available to all Canadian workers. Given the amount of information and number of parties involved, this can be a complex undertaking. This course explains how WHMIS works, how the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling (GHS) is aligned with WHMIS, who is responsible for various tasks under WHMIS, and how everyone can take full advantage of the hazardous material information available to them. This course covers the most recent WHMIS 2015 regulations. Ideal learners are all employees.
