The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is designed to ensure the safety of employers and employees performing their duties at their workplace, and the course is called WHMIS training. The training helps everyone understand the dangers and hazards of substances and chemicals used on the job.

During the WHMIS education, participants learn the critical elements of WHMIS, including the importance of labeling containers, providing material safety data sheets (MSDSs), handling hazardous products, occupational health, and the participation of everyone involved in education/training programs.
