WHMIS/GHS Course Outline
WHMIS/GHS
General information on course
Workers exposed to hazardous products, as defined under WHMIS Legislation, may be at risk for a number of serious health effects ranging from kidney and lung damage to allergic reactions, burns, cancer and even death. The Hazardous Materials Information System, known as WHMIS, came into effect in Ontario in 1988. It sets out certain duties and obligations for suppliers, employers and workers on the safe use, storage, disposal and transportation of all hazardous materials used in the workplace. Participants must complete and pass this course to receive their record of training (ROT).
Important Upcoming Deadline: Health Canada’s deadline to complete the new WHMIS/GHS training (also known as WHMIS 2015) by December 1st of 2018 is fast approaching. Advanced Consulting and Training Ltd. can help you ensure that your workplace is fully compliant to WHMIS 2015 so when the deadline comes, you will be prepared.
