What Will I Learn
Participants will learn that WHMIS with GHS is a system that defines and classifies the hazards of chemical products and communicates health and safety information on labels and safety data sheets (SDSs). WHMIS (GHS)provides more detailed and consistent hazard information, making it easier for workers to recognize hazards and protect themselves, and for workplaces to comply with legislated requirements.
Who Should Take This Course?
If a workplace uses hazardous products, there must be a WHMIS program in place. All Workers must be educated and trained so they understand the hazards, and know how to work safely with hazardous products. All workers who work with a hazardous product, or who may be exposed to a hazardous product as part of their work activities must learn about the hazard information for these products.
