Description

Every worker who works with, or in proximity to, a hazardous product in the workplace must have Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) training. This WHMIS eLearning course is based on legislation that adopts the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) and meets the legal requirements for general WHMIS training. 

On January 4, 2023, Health Canada published amendments to the Hazardous Products Regulations (HPR) in the Canada Gazette, Part II, to align with the 7th revised edition, and certain provisions of the 8th revised edition, of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The amendments came into force on December 15, 2022.

This amended system is referred to as simply “WHMIS”, and versions of the Hazardous Products Regulations (HPR) are referred to as “former” and “amended”. “Former HPR” identifies the WHMIS 2015 regulations that were in effect prior to these amendments.

The regulatory amendments provide a 3-year transition period, ending on December 14, 2025. During the 3-year transition period, regulated parties can choose to comply with either the former HPR or the amended HPR, but not a combination of both. The hazard classification and safety data sheet (and label, if applicable) of a hazardous product must be fully compliant with the version of the regulation chosen.

This course reflects the amended legislation and helps to satisfy the education requirements for hazardous products.

Read the full details of the amendments here.

NOTE: Employers must also provide workplace-specific training and instruction for each hazardous product in the workplace.

Learners will have 2 attempts to complete the final test and must achieve a score of at least 75%.
