Industries in need to comply with the valid health and safety national laws can be part of our quick Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) course, in which their employees will learn all the key elements to make a safer environment to everyone through the correct understanding of the hazardous materials international symbols.

Students will be able to analyze the current legislation on this matter, how are these materials classified and how to identify the many pictograms, labels, and classes developed to categorize them.

The in-depth program teaches the details of the new Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling for Chemicals (GHS), enacted in 2015, and the contents of the previous WHMIS system, originally published in 1988.

Our WHMIS course is compiled with the updated 2015 replacement to the 1988 guidelines. The entrance fee includes the books and materials required to attend the classes. Attendants who successfully finish the training will receive a valid printable certification in both wallet & wall-sized formats, valid for 1 year. Employees must frequently review their WHMIS program or at least annually.

 

Learn Why You Must Include A Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) Course In Your Business

Employers are legally bounded to ensure their staff is able to handle hazardous products, like chemicals. Compliance is monitored regularly by Health Canada and the provincial agencies responsible for the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), through inspectors designated by the Minister of Health.

Our WHMIS course is carefully designed to quickly comply with the current legislation in a quick way, helping companies to save time and money with their obligatory training without ignoring the benefits of properly trained personnel.

Attendants will learn how to identify all the pictograms and identification stamped in all labels and safety data sheets of containers and products. This iconography describes in-depth information about the hazardous product, but also the responsibilities when it comes to handling it.

Besides this, students will be able to learn how to react effectively in case of emergency with said products, involving leaks, explosions, fires, and spills. Basic first aid treatment and handling hazardous products are also being treated, in order to know how to react appropriately to each emergency and how to avoid further injuries.
