Where is whmis used

The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System is a Canada-wide system to give employers and workers information about hazardous materials used in the workplace. Suppliers of hazardous products must label their products and give safety data sheets before they sell or import them. Employers must pass the information about workplace hazardous products on to their employees and provide worker education programs. This guide is intended to give workplace parties a basic understanding of WHMIS and to direct readers to more detailed information, if needed.

Health and safety inspectors apply the law based on the facts in the workplace. The Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development advances safe, fair and harmonious workplace practices that are essential to the social and economic well-being of the people of Ontario.
