• The purpose of ISO 22000 is to enable organizations to control hazards and ensure food safety
• Prerequisite Programs (PRPs) are basic conditions and activities that are necessary for the production of safe food
• Operational Prerequisite Programs (OPRPs) are specific programs that are implemented to control hazards
• OPRPs are distinguished from PRPs in that they are specific control measures
• A Food Safety Management System (FSMS) should include interactive communication, management commitment, and continuous improvement
• One reason for implementing an FSMS is to ensure compliance with food safety regulations
• ISO 22000 contributes to international trade by providing a standardized framework for food safety management
• A key reason for using FSMS is to reduce the risk of foodborne illness
• OPRPs focus on controlling hazards within the food production process
• Any organization in the food supply chain can benefit from using ISO 22000

• Class A of WHMIS includes materials that cause immediate and serious toxic effects
• The main components of WHMIS are labels, material safety data sheets (MSDSs), and worker training
• The purpose of controlling products regulated by WHMIS legislation is to prevent hazardous materials from causing harm
• Exposure to hazardous materials can cause serious health effects, including cancer and reproductive damage
• Class B of WHMIS includes flammable and combustible materials
• The 6 main classes of WHMIS are: Class A (Immediate and Serious Toxic Effects), Class B (Flammable and Combustible Materials), Class C (Oxidizing Materials), Class D (Dangerously Reactive Materials), Class E (Corrosive Materials), and Class F (Dangerously Reactive Materials)
• Division 3 (D3) under Class D of WHMIS includes dangerously reactive materials
• Products regulated by WHMIS legislation are called "controlled products"
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) include 9 categories of information
• Canadian suppliers have a duty to provide MSDSs to customers when a product is considered a controlled product
• Employers are responsible for ensuring workers are trained on WHMIS and for maintaining a safe work environment
• Workers are responsible for participating in WHMIS training and following safe work practices
• Labels used for controlled products are supplier labels and workplace labels
• Suppliers must provide MSDSs to customers when a product is considered a controlled product
• MSDSs include information on product hazards, safe handling, and emergency procedures
• Employers must ensure workers have access to MSDSs and that they are updated regularly
• Workers should recreate labels if they have been accidentally removed or are no longer readable
