WHMIS Training
What is WHMIS?
WHMIS – Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System
WHMIS is a Canada-wide identification system that helps you recognize the hazards associated with handling chemicals in the workplace.
Why Do I Need WHMIS Training?
WHMIS training is legally required for all employees who are exposed or likely to be exposed to a hazardous material or controlled product in the workplace.
The goal is to ensure that workers have the knowledge and skills to protect their health in the workplace.
Safety is something that happens between your ears, not something you hold in your hands.
