WHMIS Education and Training for Workers
Employers must establish an education program for their workers to ensure that workers understand WHMIS and the hazards of the controlled products they work with or near. Education programs about WHMIS must be followed up with job-specific training in safe work procedures for handling, storing, and disposing of these controlled products. Workers must also be trained in emergency procedures in the event of an accident or spill.
Does WorkSafeBC validate education or training programs?
WorkSafeBC does not validate education or training programs. WorkSafeBC does offer advice and information on preparing WHMIS programs. Private WHMIS consultants can also help you with education or training.

Participants will learn about the WHMIS symbols and their meaning, the labels on products, and material safety data sheets (MSDSs). The course also includes valuable practical advice, so you will know basic health and safety measures to protect yourself and prevent workplace injuries and illnesses."
