WHMIS training is required by law for Canadian employees working with or around hazardous products. Training ensures that employees understand:
- The WHMIS hazard classes and pictograms.
- How to read and use supplier and workplace labels.
- How to interpret and apply information from Safety Data Sheets.
- Their rights and responsibilities under WHMIS legislation.
WHMIS training must be provided before a worker begins handling hazardous products, and employers are also required to provide refresher training regularly, especially when new products or hazards are introduced.
