WHMIS 2015 Transition Deadline is Here

The new WHMIS standards, part of the Globally Harmonized System for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), were to be phased in across Canada by December 1, 2018. By that deadline, the transition to WHMIS 2015 must be complete for all manufacturers, importers, distributors, suppliers, and employers. There should be no hazardous products in the workplace with old WHMIS labels and safety data sheets. Employers must ensure that workers are trained on hazardous products with WHMIS 2015 labels and safety data sheets as soon as possible before they are used. The type and amount of training will depend on whether a product is new to the workplace and/or newly classified as a hazardous product.

If you haven’t received your WHMIS 2015 training, please visit clac.ca/WHMIS2015 for more information and to access our 2-hour on-line course.
