WHMIS is a hazard communication system designed to ensure workers using hazardous materials, also known as controlled products, have all the necessary information to safely handle, store and dispose of these materials

The course consists of the following units: 

Unit 1 - Intro to WHMIS

Unit 2 - Product Labels

Unit 3 - Hazard Symbols

Unit 4 - Material Data Safety Sheets (MSDSs)

Unit 5 - WHMIS Education- Roles and Responsibilities

Unit 6 - Exemptions and Restricted Applications

Course Objectives
The primary objective for the online WHMIS course is to provide course participants with the skills necessary to access and apply the information needed to protect their health and safety while working with WHMIS controlled products. The course meets the legislated worker training requirements for all Federal and Provincial workplaces in all provinces and territories.

Evaluation Process
At the end of each module, there is a quiz that each course participant must challenge and successfully complete with a passing grade before continuing to the next content module.

Course Duration:
The course is self paced so course duration will depend on the individual participant and their prior knowledge base with the course subject matter. On average, the course will take between 2-5 hours to complete

Who Should Take the Course?
The course is intended for any employee that comes in “close proximity” to a hazardous material(s).

Please Note: Employers will have to supplement this training with worksite specific training to ensure that their workers are aware of and understand the hazards associated with the controlled products that they use and how to safely work with them.
