This course is provided as a public service, courtesy of Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is a nation-wide communications system that provides information about hazardous materials, which are produced, sold in, imported to, or used within workplaces.
Because the school board is a workplace, the employer must ensure that employees are provided with information necessary to protect themselves when using hazardous products in the workplace. Using the information provided by the WHMIS system, suppliers, employers and workers can work together to minimize the risks of hazardous materials in the workplace. |
