Whmis Training Ottawa

This course is designed to inform the trainee on the various hazards in the workplace including compressed gas, paints, cleaning products, fuels and solvents etc.

The information in the program will keep workers safe by providing them with all of the necessary information prior to being exposed to or working with any chemical products.

The new WHMIS is called WHMIS 2015 (Global Harmonized System). It came into effect with a transition period which will last several years. WHMIS requirements are set out in the Federal Hazardous Products Act and Regulations, administered by Health Canada. Each province and territory legislate WHMIS as well.

The trainee will be educated on pictograms which appear on all WHMIS labels such as compressed gas as well as the PH Scale which indicates Acid, Neutral and Alkaline.
