WHAT IS WHMIS??
•A Canadian-wide Information System
•Designed to protect the worker
•Provides information about hazardous materials
•Provides workers with the right to be informed

“No employer may allow the use, handling or storage of a
Controlled Product in a workplace unless the product carries a label and a material safety data sheet which meet the requirements of this Act and the regulations and
unless the worker has received the training and information required to carry out the work entrusted to
him safely”.IT’S THE LAW!!!!
