We have provided you with some general information below on why WHMIS training is required and why you need to be certified.
WHMIS stands for (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System). All Canadian jurisdictions require that employers develop, implement, and maintain a Workplace Hazardous Information System program that will enable workers to work safely with hazardous chemicals, and provides Instruction on requirements for labels and data sheets.
The employer should also provide information on how a worker’s safety may be affected by certain products, as well as training in safe work procedures are necessary. It’s the employer’s general responsibility to provide as much hazardous information as possible either from suppliers, or information the employer that he or she ought, to be aware of. This is usually done through education and training programs offered on a regular basis.
The specific WHMIS training requirements are regulated by each occupational health and safety jurisdiction. If you have questions you should contact the Labour Branch of Human Resources Development Canada, if you have a federal job? A regulating body in your provincial and territorial jurisdictions will determine the exact nature of their WHMIS requirements. This outline is intended for general information purposes only and may not be 100% accurate due to changes.
The specific details of WHMIS and how it is taught varies from workplace to workplace. The common objective for any safety training program remains the same. The overall goal is for the employer to give the workers the necessary knowledge and information so that they can understand and apply that knowledge to protect their health and safety.
(Here's an example:) it is not enough for a worker just to know that the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) suggests a particular type of respirator for protection against certain products / chemicals. The worker must know where to get the respirator, it's locations in the plant, when it is mandatory for him/her to use it, how to test to see if it fits properly, and where necessary, how to maintain it and where to store it. A successful whmis program gives the worker the ability to use safe procedures with a controlled product / chemical and the understanding of why such procedures are necessary.
