What is WHMIS 2025?
In Canada, the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is used communicate and identify the risks associated with products. This version of WHMIS includes amendments coming into force December 2025.
In Canada, suppliers, employers, and workers use the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) to communicate and identify the risks associated with products used in the workplace. WHMIS aligns with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) used by many countries around the world.
In December 2022, amendments to the Hazardous Products Regulations (HPR) meant changes to the previously used WHMIS 2015. Health Canada outlined a 3-year transition period to give those who use WHMIS time to make the necessary changes. As of December 2025, anyone who uses WHMIS must follow the amended HPR.
