WHMIS Training

Are you concerned about handling your hazardous materials? Do you need to train your employees following a visit from the CNESST?

Provide your firm with training essential to the health and safety of your employees and that of your company. Mandatory by law, our WHMIS 2015 training is based on the new WHMIS standards adopted in February 2015. Ensure the competence of your employees through training that is simple, dynamic and adapted to your reality, where pleasure of learning blends perfectly with compliance.

What is WHMIS?
The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) has been in effect in Canada since 1988. It is the Canadian standard for communication through labels and safety data sheets transmitted by training programs. The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is enforced through federal and provincial regulations. These laws require Canadian suppliers (including importers and distributors) to supply material safety data sheets and labels for all controlled products sold or distributed to be used in a workplace in Canada. The WHMIS regulatory agency in Quebec is the CNESST.

Who needs to be trained?
All persons in the company who could potentially be exposed (directly or indirectly) to controlled products; factory personnel, supervisors, restaurant employees, garage employees (in fact, all Canadian workers) must receive the required WHMIS training.

Our WHMIS 2015 in-company and WHMIS online training courses have been verified by the CNESST, in Quebec.
