WHMIS 2025 Course 

In Canadian workplaces, everyone shares responsibility for safety—and understanding hazardous materials is essential. The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) helps suppliers, employers, and workers identify and communicate the risks of hazardous products.

WHMIS now aligns with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). In December 2022, Health Canada amended the Hazardous Products Regulations, starting a three-year transition. Full compliance is required by December 2025.

At Action-Safety, our WHMIS 2025 course equips you with the knowledge to understand the system, meet regulations, and work safely.
