WHMIS 2015 Overview Handout for Workers

BENEFITS

Canada is well into the process of moving from the old WHMIS system (WHMIS 1988) to WHMIS 2015, which reflects the GHS and includes new requirements for labels and safety data sheets. Federal WHMIS laws and regulations have already been updated; the provinces and territories are in the midst of updating their own OHS laws to reflect the new federal WHMIS 2015 requirements. As a result, all employers across the country will need to train workers on WHMIS 2015.

HOW TO USE THE TOOL

Adapt this handout for the WHMIS 2015 requirements and transition to WHMIS 2015 deadlines in your jurisdiction’s OHS laws and use it as part of your worker training on WHMIS 2015.
