Description

The Letters W-H-M-I-S stand for "Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System." WHMIS was developed to ensure that workers receive adequate hazard information about chemicals that are used at their work site. The system requires suppliers and distributors of controlled products to provide specified hazard information to their customers. The customers, acting as employers, must pass that hazard information on to their workers. WHMIS has three elements: Labels, Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), and Worker education.
