In 2023, Canada updated its Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS 2015), and its current implementation is aligned with the 5th revision of GHS. These revisions were part of Canada's proactive approach to regulatory alignment, now reflected in the latest GHS 7th revised edition. Companies were granted a three-year window until January 4th, 2026, to revise and update their Hazard Communication documentation in compliance with the amended WHMIS Regulations.
In this webinar, we will provide an overview of the changes to the WHMIS Regulations. We will delve into key aspects such as the updated SDS requirements, new classification endpoints, changes to improve clarity and precision of Hazard Communication and how this will impact your supply chain. Join us as we navigate the intricacies of WHMIS and equip you with the knowledge needed for a seamless transition.
