Why do you need WHMIS training?

WHMIS training makes workplaces safer by reducing injuries and illnesses and providing employers and employees information about the hazardous products and chemicals they may be exposed to at work.

 

Ontario's WHMIS legislation applies to all workplaces except farms. Employers are required to provide information about workplace hazardous products on to their employees and provide worker education programs, as well as ensure that workers are trained on hazardous products before they use them.

 

What will you learn? 

As Canada's national standard for hazard communication, our WHMIS eLearning courses provide Ontario learners with the required knowledge to:

 

  • describe what WHMIS is and why it is important to workers
  • describe what the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) is and how it affects WHMIS
  • describe how hazardous products affect the body
  • identify the WHMIS hazard classification and pictograms
  • identify the types of information covered on supplier and workplace labels
  • describe the purpose, content and function of a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)
  • describe the hazard controls for WHMIS regulated products
  • describe legal rights and duties under WHMIS
  • apply the knowledge acquired in this course to your workplace.
