Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS)
The CCOHS defines WHMIS as: “A comprehensive system for providing health and safety information on hazardous products intended for use, handling, or storage in Canadian workplaces". It utilizes product labels, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and worker education and training to ensure team members have the information they need to work safely.
The Chemical Management Library (CanadaSDS) is now live!
