WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) and GHS (Globally Harmonized System)

Under Ontario Regulation 860 of the Ontario Occupational Health & Safety Act, a WHMIS program is required in all workplaces that use or handle potentially hazardous materials. The three principal elements include labelling, worker education/training, and material safety data sheets (MSDSs). Walsh & Associates Professional Safety Services offers services to ensure your compliance in all three areas: providing WHMIS training to your staff, completing hazard assessments, making recommendation for appropriate controls, and auditing your existing program to identify gaps and areas of potential non-compliance.

Additional services may include occupational hygiene and PPE (personal protective equipment) assessment to ensure not just legislative compliance but, more importantly, the safety of your staff.
