Why WHMIS?
WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) is a set of regulations designed to ensure the safe handling, storage, and disposal of hazardous materials in the workplace. Having employees trained in WHMIS is crucial for maintaining a safe work environment, as it helps them identify and understand the hazards associated with the materials they are working with.
The importance of WHMIS training is supported by various regulations in Canada, such as the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations, which require employers to provide information, instruction, and training to employees on the safe handling and storage of hazardous materials. Additionally, the WHMIS regulations themselves require employers to ensure that workers are adequately trained to handle hazardous materials safely.
By providing WHMIS training, employers can ensure that their employees have the knowledge and skills necessary to work safely with hazardous materials, thereby reducing the risk of workplace accidents, injuries, and illnesses. Furthermore, compliance with WHMIS regulations can also help employers avoid costly fines and legal liabilities associated with workplace safety violations.
