One of our most popular Health and Safety Training Programs is our WHMIS Training (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) course. The purpose of this comprehensive training program is to increase the basic knowledge and understanding of the concepts of WHMIS.
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is a national system to identify workplace hazardous materials and provide safety information pertaining to them. Workers have the right to know what hazards they are dealing with and how to protect themselves from illness and injury.
WHMIS training is one of our instructor-led training programs. Instructor-led training remains the primary source for formal workplace learning. The advantages are obvious and include the ability for students to interact with their peers and the instructor.
The opportunity for students to ask questions, clarify points, complete exercises and get feedback in a supportive environment cannot be overlooked. In addition, the classroom environment provides a structure that many find comforting and accommodating. The skilled instructor understands and interprets the audience to gauge the pace of the program and acknowledges the level and ability of the group. As well, the experienced instructor is able to determine the capabilities of the student to determine the comprehension of the subject material.
The WHMIS course is a two and a half hour classroom program that will be held at your workplace location. It includes certificate of completion for each participant. The course will cover several key aspects of WHMIS training, including:
• Intent of WHMIS legislation and legal responsibilities.
• Detailed examination of the 6 classifications of controlled products.
• Identify workplace hazardous materials through WHMIS symbols and labels.
• Understand Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) with operational relevancy.
• Recognize common hazards, routes of entry and harmful effects of hazardous materials.
