Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System
The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is Canada’s national hazard communication standard. In 2015, WHMIS was amended to incorporate the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. Our expert team can advise you on Safety Data Sheets and a full range of classification labelling and packaging requirements so that you can manage your hazard communications up and down the supply chain in Canada. Our team also offers a customised translation service as safety data sheets and labels are required to be in both English and French.
