WHMIS 2015 (GHS)

Program content has been designed to provide workers, supervisors and employers relevant information provided under WHMIS 1988 and 2015 about the safe handling, use and storage of hazardous materials in the workplace. Specific workplace examples are used wherever possible to enhance the relevance of the course for participants. Since 1988, WHMIS has been Canada’s hazard communication system for workplace chemicals. WHMIS is changing to adopt new international standards for classifying hazardous chemicals and providing information on labels and safety data sheets. These new international standards are part of the Globally Harmonized System for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) and are being phased in across Canada between February 2015 and December 2018. The reformed GHS compliant version of WHMIS is referred to as WHMIS 2015. WHMIS 1988 (the original version) will remain in force until its phase out date in December 2018. ACUTE’s WHMIS 1988 – 2015 navigates the new and old versions of the WHMIS regulations to help workers, supervisors and employers recognize and appropriately control the hazards associated with hazardous products.
