Course Curriculum
The detailed curriculum outline of our WHMIS Training Course is as follows:
Build a solid foundation by exploring Canada’s WHMIS 2015 framework and its alignment with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). You’ll learn why these standards are essential for protecting workers and communicating chemical hazards effectively.
Discover how hazardous products are grouped according to their physical and health risks. The module also explains workplace safety protocols that help reduce exposure and promote safer working environments.
Hazard labels provide vital safety information at a glance. Here, you’ll learn how supplier labels, workplace labels, pictograms, signal words, and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) work together to support safe decision-making.
Handling hazardous materials safely requires careful planning and the right procedures. This section focuses on safe storage, handling techniques, personal protective equipment (PPE), and everyday risk reduction strategies.
Be prepared to act when incidents occur. You’ll examine emergency response procedures, spill management, exposure response, evacuation practices, and the importance of reporting workplace hazards promptly.
Conclude the course by understanding employer and worker responsibilities under WHMIS. You’ll also explore documentation, employee training records, workplace inspections, and audit practices that help maintain ongoing compliance.
