WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) helps you recognize, interpret, and act on hazard information at work. Our training covers labels, pictograms, SDS, and safe handling practices so you can work safely — and help your team do the same.
Canada aligned WHMIS with GHS in 2015. The course focuses on WHMIS 2015 requirements you’ll actually use on the job, including the two GHS signal words and current pictograms.
Finish online at your pace (most learners finish in ~60–90 minutes). Download a printable WHMIS certificate immediately and keep digital proof for your records and employer.
WHMIS training teaches workers, supervisors, and employers how to identify and control hazards from controlled products. You’ll learn to read supplier/workplace labels, interpret Safety Data Sheets (SDS), understand GHS pictograms and signal words
, and apply safe storage, use, and emergency procedures. It’s essential general WHMIS training for anyone who works with or near hazardous products.
There’s no single national expiry date. Employers are responsible for ensuring workers are trained as often as necessary, especially when hazards, products, or roles change. In practice, many workplaces refresh WHMIS annually (or every 2–3 years). CHCPT makes refreshers quick so you can stay current without hassle.
Most learners complete the online WHMIS 2015 course in about 60–90 minutes, depending on experience. You can pause and resume anytime, and you’ll receive an instant, printable certificate upon successful completion.
There are two GHS/WHMIS signal words used on labels: Danger (more severe hazards) and Warning (less severe). You’ll learn where these appear, how they relate to pictograms and hazard statements, and how to respond appropriately.
