What Is WHMIS?

The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is used throughout Canada. WHMIS training provides information about hazardous materials that are stored and used in workplaces, and it follows the Hazardous Products Act (HPA) and Hazardous Products Regulations (HPR). According to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOSH), WHMIS training has four main components:

  • Identifying Hazards and Classifying Products
  • Labels and Symbols for Product Containers
  • Safety Data Sheets (SDS), also known as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
  • Education and Training for Personnel

WHMIS 2015 adopted the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The system now classifies materials into physical hazards and health hazards, replacing the previous classification.
