Our WHMIS 2015/GHS Certification Online Course Canada offers the most advanced study materials and information available today.

Since 1988, the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (also known as WHMIS) has protected Canadian workers from hazardous chemical products by ensuring they have the information and training needed to work safely. In 2015, Canada began making changes to WHMIS to include the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), a system developed by the United Nations to help standardize hazard communication around the world. The goal was to create a program that:

  • Ensures information regarding controlled products is readily available
  • Sets standards for the type and amount of information made available by suppliers
  • Reduces occupational illness, injury, accidents, and disease

This program is known as WHMIS 2015/GHS. Since the end of 2018, WHMIS 2015 and the implementation and adaptation of GHS have been fully enforced across Canada.

The main objective of WHMIS 2015/GHS, and this WHMIS online training course, is to increase your knowledge of controlled products in the workplace and their safe handling practices. Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:

  • Describe legislated WHMIS 2015/GHS responsibilities for employers, supervisors, and workers
  • Explain WHMIS 2015/GHS education and training requirements
  • Identify controlled product classes, categories, and pictograms
  • List and describe routes of exposure
  • Identify possible health effects of exposure to controlled products
  • List potentially required PPE
  • Explain the difference between supplier and workplace labels
  • Outline procedures for transferring controlled products to another container
  • Identify the sections of a safety data sheet

Information in this course will be presented in 5 chapters:

  • Chapter 1: WHMIS 2015/GHS Responsibilities
  • Chapter 2: Hazard Classification
  • Chapter 3: Exposure
  • Chapter 4: Labels
  • Chapter 5: Safety Data Sheets
