CHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION TO WHMIS

5


• Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System

• Canada’s national hazard communication standard

• Sometimes called WHMIS 2015

• Common rules for classifying & labels and creating

standard SDS

WHAT IS WHMIS?

5


• Protect Canadian workers

• Ensure you are provided

with relevant information and training

OBJECTIVES

5


1. Labelling of "controlled products"

2. Safety data sheets (SDSs)

3. Worker education and training

HOW WHMIS WORKS

Controlled Products

✓ Products, materials, and/or substances

that are regulated by the Hazardous

Products Regulations (HPR).

✓ May be a pure substance, a tested

mixture or an untested mixture.

5


WHMIS LAWS• No specific WHMIS legislation

• Coordinated federal, provincial and territorial legislation:

1. Hazardous Products Act (HPA) and Regulations (HPR)

2. Canada Labour Code, Part IV

WHMIS 1988

✓ Based on the Controlled Products Regulations (CPR).

✓ May be used until December 31, 2018

6


INSPECTION AND ENFORCEMENTWorkers• What are the hazards of the product(s)?

• How do you protect yourself?

• What will you do in an emergency?

• Where can you get more information?

Employers• WHMIS program is in place

• Location of SDSs

• Required labels

• Training records for employees

6


YOUR RIGHTS• Know about hazards

• Access to Safety Data Sheets

• Personal Protective Equipment

• Education and Training

7


YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES• Complete WHMIS training

• Follow safe work procedures

• Use the recommended control measures

Do your part to keep your workplace safe!

7


YOUR EMPLOYER’S RESPONSIBILITIES• Controlled products are properly labelled

• Workers receive education and training

• Provide personal protective equipment

7


• Providing a Safety Data Sheet

• Applying a WHMIS label

SUPPLIER RESPONSIBILITIES

7


WHMIS EDUCATION & TRAININGEducation

• General information about how

WHMIS works and hazards of products

Training

• Information about hazardous products

specific to your worksite and to your job

7


WHMIS TRAINING CERTIFICATES• A certificate or card is not required by law

• Health Canada does not issue WHMIS certificates

7


Introduction to WHMIS

8


How much have you learned about WHMIS?

Both employers and workers have responsibilities

for meeting WHMIS requirements.

WHMIS is implemented through coordinated federal, provincial

and territorial legislation.

WHMIS is an abbreviation for ‘Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System’.

Canada’s WHMIS program is aligned with the Globally Harmonized System.

Neither Health Canada, nor any other regulatory authority issues

WHMIS certificates to workers.

WHMIS is Canada's national hazard communication standard

to ensure workplace chemicals are used safely.

CONTROLLING HAZARDS

27


ENGINEERING CONTROLS• Keep storage areas well ventilated

and away from sources of heat and direct sunlight.

• Use chemically-resistant, corrosion-resistant structural

materials in the storage area and ventilation system.

Engineering controls are methods that are

built into the design of a plant, the equipment

or a process to minimize a hazard.

27


ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS

• Materials to be Stored

• Storage Area

• Emergency

Preparedness

Administrative controls alter the way the work

is done, including timing, policies and other

rules, and work practices.

• Keep an inventory

• Ensure proper labelling

• Use secondary containment trays

• Keep empty containers closed• Restrict Access

• Maintain good housekeeping

• Inspect storage areas• Practice!

• Ensure everyone is aware

• Ensure equipment is readily

available
