The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) 2015 Pocket Guide 2017 Edition is a great educational and learning tool for your workers and a practical reference aid. This handy, updated version of our WHMIS Pocket Guide reflects the latest WHMIS information that your workers need to know, including safe handling and use of hazardous materials, proper labelling, understanding how to use Safety Data Sheets (SDSs), and much more.

New and existing employees need to understand WHMIS 2015 for their own safety and the safety of their co-workers. By law, employers must ensure that workers fully understand and comply with all workplace safety practices. It includes heeding all warnings, knowing how to deal with hazards, and understanding the types of hazardous products they may encounter on the job (e.g., via labels and SDSs).

Protect your organization by ensuring your employees and supervisory personnel are informed about the new WHMIS 2015 program introduced as a result of the implementation of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals across Canada. Order an individual copy for all workers and supervisors who work or may work with hazardous products in your workplace. It includes safe handling, use, storage, and disposal of chemicals and hazardous substances. The book is pocket-sized and coil-bound for easier reading.
