WHMIS Online Training

Canadian law requires that any person exposed to hazardous materials in the workplace must be trained in Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS).

This comprehensive WHMIS 2015 course includes the new Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling for chemicals (GHS) enacted in 2015. It also covers content from the previous WHMIS system (WHMIS 1988).

This course consists of 6 chapters and a final exam. Once you pass your exam, you may print your certificates of completion (wallet & wall sized). Training may be paused or resumed at any time, is fully narrated, and includes interactive exercises to ensure understanding of course content. Alternative training methods are also available including book based distance learning, and classroom training.

It is an employee’s responsibility to participate in WHMIS safety training, take necessary measures to protect themselves and co-workers, and to properly identify and control hazardous materials. The onus is on the employer to ensure that hazardous materials are properly labelled, to have SDSs available, and to offer education and training about the products in the workplace.

This training program is intended to be completed entirely online. Depending on your duties or workplace hazards, supplementary training for specific hazardous materials, Safety Data Sheets, workplace labeling practices, or other additional considerations may be required. Please contact us for more information or to arrange supplementary or hands-on training.

*This certificate is valid for 3+ years. Individuals or employers may use their best judgment to set their own expiration period from within their training account.

In general, employers tend to review their WHMIS training programs at least once per year, and more often if:

  • conditions at the workplace change;
  • new information on a controlled product becomes available; or
  • new products or reformulated products with different hazards are introduced.

The requirement for review does not mean the re-instruction automatically follows, but does identify any need for re-instructing workers.

Course Outline

1. Groups, Categories & Classes

The first section of the WHMIS 2015 course will cover the different classifications of hazards. Every material you encounter in the workplace or at home is put into a group, category, and a class. This set of classifications will give you the ability to know what hazards and risks to expect from the material.

2. Pictograms

The second section of this course goes over the ten pictograms you will find in WHMIS 2015. Each of these simple to understand images provide a simple method to quickly identify what class and category od material is inside the container or vehicle.

3. Labels

The third lesson in this course will give you the ability to properly identify, read, and understand a product label. These labels are designed to be the first source of information for the hazards, safety precautions, and proper use of a product.

4. Safety Data Sheets

The fourth lesson in the WHMIS 2015 course provides a detailed explanation of how to properly read and understand a Safety Data Sheet (SDS). The SDS will give you detailed information on the hazards associated with a product, and any other safety information you may need.

5. Protecting Yourself

The fifth lesson in this course goes over the many types of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) that you may be required to wear while handling or using chemicals or materials that are hazardous according to their WHMIS classifications.

6. Emergency Preparedness

The final lesson in this WHMIS 2015 course provides a more detailed look at the safety section of the SDS sheets, basic risk prevention, and how to properly deal with hazardous situations that may come up. These situations can be to the environment, your workplace, while transporting hazardous materials, or to yourself.
