IHSA's eLearning Catalogue

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%. Read more

This scenario based eLearning program will provide employees with the knowledge and tools required to develop or improve and implement a Work Place Harassment and Violence Prevention Program (WPHVPP) that fulfils legislative requirements.   In 2020, the Work Place Harassment and Violence Prevention Regulation (SOR/2020-130) under the Canada Labour Code came into effect. It outlines the employers’ responsibilities to develop and maintain a WPHVPP, and the requirements of a policy and program, which includes training for the employer and their employees. Learners will work through several scenarios and case studies as they become familiar with and apply the regulation. This program is applicable to employers and employees under the Canada Labour Code. Learners will have 2 attempts to complete the final test and must achieve a score of at least 80%. A record of training is provided to learners who successfully complete this program. Read more
