Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS)
The ultimate goal is to create a safer workplace by providing workers with the knowledge and tools to enable them to work safely. The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is a comprehensive national system for safe management of hazardous chemicals which is legislated by both the federal and provincial jurisdictions.
In Canada, all employers are required by law to provide WHMIS instruction to all employees' who work in contact with, or in proximity to, any materials defined as "hazardous". In each work environment there are a wide range of materials and products which can be hazardous to a worker's health if they are not handled and used properly. Cleaning products, solvents, paints, glues, and toners are just a sample of some of the hazardous materials which, if not used properly, can have adverse health effects.
