    Study Notes

    WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System)

    • Provides information on safe use of hazardous materials in Canadian workplaces
    • Stands for Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System
    • Does not include a component on disposal of hazardous materials (not mentioned as a component of WHMIS)

    Hazard Symbols

    • HHPS (Hazardous Household Products Symbols) on household cleaners and laboratory containers indicate hazardous materials
    • Hazard symbols on labels indicate the type of hazard posed by the material (e.g. flammable, toxic, etc.)

    Fluids

    • A fluid is a substance that flows and has no fixed shape
    • Examples of fluids include liquids and gases
    • Can be used in various ways, including to make solids (e.g. mixing cement with water), to hold and transport materials (e.g. oil in pipelines), and to make materials (e.g. fiber optics)

    Properties of Fluids

    • Real fluids possess viscosity (thickness) and obey Newton's Law of viscosity
    • Ideal fluids do not possess viscosity and do not obey Newton's Law of viscosity

    Slurries

    • A slurry is a mixture of a fluid and solid particles that can be poured
    • Example of a slurry: cement mixed with water

    Uses of Fluids

    • Can be used to make materials (e.g. fiber optics, plastics)
    • Can be used to hold and transport materials (e.g. oil in pipelines)
    • Can make it easier to work with different materials (e.g. lubricants in machinery)
