WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) is information and training in the safe handling, recognition, storage and disposal of controlled products (hazardous materials). Emergency procedures, as well as an understanding of the risk and necessary precautions, will help prevent workplace injury or loss of life.

Note: Employers must provide education and training in WHMIS which is administered by WorkSafe BC. Occupational Health and Safety Regulations state the WHMIS certificate should be renewed annually.
