To be effective – and to comply with OH&S legislation in most provinces - WHMIS instruction requires two vital steps:
  • Information about how WHMIS communication systems work – we call this the education component. It addresses the content and significance of supplier labels, workplace labels, other identifiers, material safety data sheets (MSDS) and how WHMIS works in general.
  • Site-specific or job-specific instruction that shows employees how to work safely with particular WHMIS controlled products – we call this the training component. Employees have to know:
  • where to find WHMIS information and how to use the information delivery systems (e.g. software for electronic MSDS’s),
  • hazards of WHMIS controlled products in their job or workplace,
  • the site-specific or job-specific practices and rules required to safely handle and store the controlled products they’re using,
  • the proper use and care of engineering controls and personal protective equipment, and
  • specific procedures for responding to emergencies such as spills, releases, or worker exposure.
