INTRODUCTION

A. Background
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is a comprehensive
system designed to ensure the safe handling, use, and disposal of hazardous materials in the
workplace. WHMIS symbols play a crucial role in communicating specific hazards
associated with various products. These symbols serve as visual indicators, providing quick
and easily recognizable information about potential dangers.
In this context, we will explore three distinct products, each identified by a different
WHMIS symbol. These symbols are not merely pictograms but rather essential elements in a
standardized classification system that helps workers and individuals understand the risks
posed by certain substances. The products selected for discussion represent different hazard
classes, emphasizing the diverse range of potential dangers present in various workplace
settings.
Understanding these symbols is paramount for maintaining a safe working
environment, as they convey essential information about the nature of the hazards associated
with a particular product. From corrosive substances that can cause physical harm to
flammable materials that pose a risk of ignition, and toxic compounds that can have severe
health implications, WHMIS symbols serve as visual cues to promote awareness and
facilitate the adoption of proper safety measures.
In the subsequent sections, we will delve into specific examples of products
associated with these symbols, shedding light on the potential risks they pose and the
importance of adhering to WHMIS guidelines for safe handling and usage.
