Course Summary
Failure to recognize and control hazards associated with exposure to biological, chemical, and physical agents, has led to an increase in occupational illnesses.
Individuals who train this course must have an understanding of these hazards and the purpose and significance behind the WHMIS system.
Our course is designed to provide instructors with the proper methods to train employees on the fundamental requirements of WHMIS legislation, as well as providing a useful comprehension of the WHMIS system, classes, labels, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and common health effects.
