Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS)WHMIS 2015

WHMIS is categorized in 3 partsWorkplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is a comprehensive plan for providing information on the safe use of hazardous materials used in Ca-nadian workplaces.

Information is provided through: 1. Product labels 2. Safety Data Sheets (SDS) 3. Worker education programs

WHMIS in LegislationThe Occupational Health & Safety Act (Section 37) states: • Labels must be on products as prescribed if the product is deemed a controlled substance • Safety Data Sheets (SDS) must be made available to all workers • All workers must receive training • Labels must be in good shape • Don’t use, handle or store hazardous material unless prescribed labels in place, MSDS available and worker instruction and training complete • Safety Data Sheets (SDS) need to be updated when there is a significant change to the product.

How is WHMIS relevant in office and other non industrial environments? • Printer/Photocopier toner may contain ingredients that can lead to eye and skin irritation if not handled correctly. • Air Duster Aerosol — flammable; contents under pressure. If inhaled will cause disorientation. • Cleaning Supplies may be harmful if inhaled. May be corrosive and require personal protective equipment (gloves/masks). • Fire Extinguishers — compressed gas; contains ammonium phosphate. Can cause irritation if in contact with skin or eyes. • Sharps Containers in Restrooms: These contain bio hazardous material which can be highly infectious.

Labels in the Workplace

Supplier Labels: Labels that are on the package or container before it is shipped to the user.

Workplace Labels: A label that is put on the container at the workplace if you are decanting products (transferring a small amount to another container) or the sup-plier label is illegible.

What is on a Supplier Label?This is the first information that identifies a product. The supplier, manufacturer, or importer is responsible to ensure a supplier label is in place with the following: • Product Identifier • Supplier Name • Pictogram • Written in English & French • Signal word: “Danger” for high risk hazards “Warning” for less severe hazards • Precautionary Statement

What is on a Workplace Label?This can be hand written or printed as long as it is legible and placed on the con-tainer prior to filling it.

A workplace label must include the following: • Product Name • Safe handling instructions • Reference to the Material Safety Data sheet (WHMIS 1998) or Safety Data Sheet (WHMIS 2015)

How to protect yourself: • Always know the hazards you are dealing with • Always read the labels and MSDS prior to use • Talk to your supervisor if you are unaware how to handle any of the products safely • Report any hazards to your supervisor

WHMIS 2015 also identifies hazards by classifying them into physical hazards and health hazards. The hazard class (e.g. corrosive) also contains a hazard category which assigns a number to it. • Category 1 has the greatest level of hazard; • Category 2 is less of a hazard than category 1 and so on.

MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) or SDS (Safety Data Sheet)

A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is a document that contains information on potential hazards (health, fire, reactivity and environment al) and how to work safely with a chemical product. It also contains information on the use, storage, handling and emergency procedu res all related to the hazards of the material. These must be available to all workers in a convenient location.

The SDS contains much more information about the material than the label, and are prepared by the supplier or manufacturer of the material. It is intended to tell what the hazards of the product are, how to use the product safely, what to expect if the recommendations are not followed, what to do if accidents occur, how to recognize symptoms of overexposure, and what to do if such incidents occur.

Safety Data Sheets need to be updated only when there is a significant change to the product.

They require 16 sections of information: Product Information Hazardous Identification Composition Information First Aid Measures Fire Fighting Measures Handling & Storage Exposure & PPE Accidental Release Measures Stability & Reactivity Toxicological Information Ecological Information Physical & Chemical Properties Disposal Consideration Transportation Information Regulatory Information Other Information
