WHMIS 2025 Course 

In Canadian workplaces, safety is everyone’s responsibility—and understanding hazardous materials is a key part of that. The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is the national communication standard used by suppliers, employers, and workers to identify and share risks associated with hazardous products used on the job. 

WHMIS has been updated to align with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), an international standard for classifying and labelling chemicals. In December 2022, Health Canada introduced amendments to the Hazardous Products Regulations (HPR), initiating a three-year transition period for compliance. By December 2025, all workplaces must fully adopt the changes. 

At Action-Safety, Our WHMIS 2025 course is designed to give you the knowledge you need to understand the system, follow regulations, and stay safe at work.
