Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS)

The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is Canada's national communication system for hazardous workplace materials. It helps ensure that workers understand the risks associated with these materials through labels, safety data sheets, and worker education and training. WHMIS aims to protect workers by providing clear information on how to safely handle, store, and dispose of hazardous substances. By following WHMIS guidelines, employers and employees can create a safer work environment, minimize accidents, and promote overall occupational health and safety.
