Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System

The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS 2015) is a nationwide right-to-know legislation that gives Canadian workers the right to access and understand information on hazardous chemical substances found in their workplace. Canada-wide regulations require that anyone working either with or in the vicinity of materials classified under WHMIS regulations receive proper training.
