WHMIS
We interact with a number of chemicals in our everyday lives. Often, we become so accustomed to dealing with these chemicals in our daily life that we forget that they can pose a serious threat to our health and safety.
This is especially true in workplaces across Canada. There are a wide variety of substances that are so harmful, special instructions and conditions for use must be followed to ensure the safety of people working with them and exposed to them.
For these reasons, the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System, or WHMIS, was developed in 1988 as a Canada wide initiative to help increase awareness of the risks involved with chemical use. A requirement of WHMIS is that all workers receive training on hazardous materials used in the workplace.
