Study Notes

Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS) Overview

WHMIS is a comprehensive system in Canada that provides health and safety information on hazardous products in workplaces.
WHMIS ensures effective communication of information to workers, including understanding of hazards, safe work procedures, and emergency response.
WHMIS is aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), which aims for global adoption of hazard classification rules and standardized labels and SDSs.
Pictograms are used in WHMIS and GHS programs to visually represent the type of hazard present on labels.
WHMIS labels on hazardous products are designed to alert employers and workers to hazards and precautions.
There are two types of labels under WHMIS legislation: supplier labels provided by the product supplier, and workplace labels used during storage and handling in the workplace.
Supplier labels must include product identifier, supplier information, pictograms, signal word, hazard statements, precautionary statements, and supplemental label information.
Workplace labels are used when decanting or transferring hazardous products, or when supplier labels are illegible or missing.
Workplace labels are less detailed than supplier labels but must include product name, safe handling precautions, and a reference to the SDS.
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) are summary documents that provide detailed information on product hazards and safety precautions.
SDSs are usually prepared by the product manufacturer or supplier and must be readily available to workers and health and safety committees.
SDSs provide more comprehensive hazard information than labels, including how to use the product safely, recognition of exposure symptoms, and emergency response.
