WHMIS 2015

WHMIS 2015

 

Current WHMIS Requirements

Ontario has amended the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) and the WHMIS Regulation to adopt new, international standards that are part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The changes reflect recent amendments to the federal Hazardous Products Act and new Hazardous Products Regulations.

The new requirements come into effect July 1, 2016. There is a transition period – until December 1, 2018 – to phase out the old requirements. During the transition, both the old and the new requirements are in effect.

This course meets Health Canada’s training requirements under the Hazardous Products Regulations 100%, for every individual involved in handling workplace chemicals. The engaging content and skill building exercises give you a learning experience which ensures that all of the information is fully understood, retained and easily accessed in the future.

A certificate is issued upon completion of the course and test. Also included are free printable resources such as a sample label, sample SDS, glossary, poster and a workbook for reference.
