WHAT IS WHMIS?
• Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System

• Canada’s national hazard communication standard

• Sometimes called WHMIS 2015

• Common rules for classifying & labels and creating


standard SDS

HOW WHMIS
WORKS
1. Labelling of "controlled products"

2. Safety data sheets (SDSs)


Controlled Products
3. ✓Worker
Products, materials,
education andand/or substances
training
that are regulated by the Hazardous
Products Regulations (HPR).
✓ May be a pure substance, a tested
mixture or an untested mixture.

7 | ©2018 All rights reserved


6

WHMIS LAWS
• No specific WHMIS legislation

• Coordinated federal, provincial and territorial legislation:


WHMIS 1988
1. Hazardous Products Act (HPA) and Regulations (HPR)
✓ Based on the Controlled Products
Regulations (CPR).
2. Canada Labour Code, Part IV
✓ May be used until December 31, 2018

Introduction to WHMIS
How much have you learned about WHMIS?
Both employers and workers have responsibilities
for meeting WHMIS requirements.

WHMIS is implemented through coordinated federal, provincial


and territorial legislation.

WHMIS is an abbreviation for ‘Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System’.

Canada’s WHMIS program is aligned with the Globally Harmonized System.

Neither Health Canada, nor any other regulatory authority issues


WHMIS certificates to workers.

WHMIS is Canada's national hazard communication standard


to ensure workplace chemicals are used safely.
