What is GHS 2015 WHMIS?
WHMIS or Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System is a legal requirement at the workplace. Training in chemical handling and classification, labels on supplier and workplace containers and safety data sheets are requirements for workers exposed to controlled products. The GHS Globally Harmonized System is an internationally consistent approach to classifying chemicals. Combining the GHS System helps with communicating hazard information though labels and SDSs. The implementation of the GHS in Canada helps to protect human health by providing workers with standardized information on workplace chemical hazards. It also assists to facilitate international trade through the use of labelling of these dangerous chemicals.
Who needs these courses?
Employers need to understand the WHMIS system and communicate it to employees. Workers may be asked to label controlled products and know where to access the Safety Data Sheets. Suppliers must design the SDS and supply the labels to their clients. All workers need to be trained in WHMIS and the system at their workplace.

The New WHMIS Regulations
WHMIS is a safety regulation that is enforced to protect people and property from the risks posed by hazardous materials. The regulations were introduced in February 2015, along with the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), which is a globally recognized standard for hazard classification. WHMIS includes the use of SDSs, Pictograms, and Hazard warnings.
WHMIS 2015
WHMIS 2015 is here. This new law has changed the requirements for employers and workers who are exposed to controlled substances. It sets a minimum standard of effectiveness for WHMIS training and requires that employers measure their workers’ performance against that standard on an ongoing basis. Employers may measure their workers’ performance using the WHMIS testing process or through job observations.
WHMIS 2015 training
The law requires employers with employees exposed to hazardous materials to implement a WHMIS program. The training must include information on the identification of chemical products and hazards and safe handling practices. Successful completion of the course leads to a three-year certification.

WHMIS, or the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System, is required by law in Alberta. Currently, the 1988 version of WHMIS is no longer valid, and it is time for businesses to comply with the latest requirements. The new regulations are meant to protect workers from injuries, disease, and even death due to hazardous materials in the workplace. This new version of WHMIS follows the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, which was developed by the United Nations. This new classification system will greatly increase worker safety and protection.
WHMIS 2015 training courses
WHMIS 2015 is the newest edition of Canada’s chemical safety regulation. Its aim is to help employers protect workers from workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities. Employers should update their training programs to meet the new regulations. They should provide employees with information about the classification of chemical substances and how to safely use them. Taking a WHMIS training course can help you meet these standards.
