WHMIS (2)

A

WHMIS stands for Workplace Hazardous
Materials Information System. (WHMIS)

It is an information system implemented in
workplaces that is designed to help students /
workers know more about safety and health
hazards of materials that they use in the
classroom, businesses, and industries.

Four parts: Hazard ID and Classification, Labels, SDS, education and training

Q

WHMIS Labels (5)

A
  • All controlled products at school or in the workplace must have WHMIS labels.
  • The purpose of a WHMIS label is to identify the product as controlled and alert handlers to the hazards and safe handling procedures of the product.
  • A WHMIS label is just a first alert, as the amount of information in it is limited by its size. The MSDS provides more detailed information.
  • It is important that you read the whole label before using a product for the first time.
  • The label will give a brief summary of the most important things to know about the chemical.
