Workplace Hazardous Material Information System (WHMIS) 2015Run time: 1 hourWHMIS has been updated! It is now called WHMIS 2015. Up until this year, the WHMIS we’ve been using was technically called WHMIS 1988. The new WHMIS is known as WHMIS 2015 and now incorporates GHS (Globally Harmonized System). What is GHS? Canada has aligned the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). Many chemical products cross international borders every day and having a global system keeps us on the same page by ensuring we all understand/interpret the chemicals and hazardous materials in the same way.WHMIS 2015 now has the best of both WHMIS training and GHS standards. Our course will help ensure that workers understand the hazards posed by chemicals they work with and other essential information. If your workers might come into contact with controlled substances or hazardous materials — you need this course not only for their safety, but to prove your due diligence as an employer should something happen.Overview:Handling hazardous materials incorrectly or without proper safety equipment, attention to detail, and extreme caution can have disastrous consequences in a work environment.
