Who Needs WHMIS Training?

Consider your workplace. Are there products or materials around you right now that are classified as controlled products because of one or more health or safety hazards?

You may be surprised at how many products are in the average office and yet some people associate WHMIS with heavy industrial workplaces. The fire extinguishers in many businesses have compressed gasses and are considered a controlled product. Cleaning products you are asked to use can often have unique industrial components compared to what you are familiar with in the home. Even shipping and handling in some businesses will require you to come into contact with sensitive or hazardous materials.

Not to be confused with a First Aid Course, WHMIS also covers emergency protocols specific to many workplace or hazardous materials accidents. These emergency protocols can truly help save lives if there are knowledgeable people around who are able to implement the correct procedures in time.

So, essentially anyone who works for a living should consider WHMIS training. More specifically, anyone in Canada who works or comes into contact with chemicals and controlled products in a workplace, or works in an environment with inherent risk, needs to be trained on WHMIS.

You don't want to be stuck doing training on health and safety education because it's boring? Is saving a life boring? No, it isn't, and the life you save could be your own.

The practical applications that make health and safety training incredibly important are quite clear.

And with an online program like SafeAndCertified.com, training can go remarkably quickly - you can achieve your certification in less than day!

What is sometimes a challenge is how to determine if you are in need of any retraining or renewal of training. Most regulations require employers to complete an annual review of their WHMIS program, and Health Canada legislates that it is the responsibility of employers to make sure all of their employees are knowledgeable on WHMIS.

One way to determine if you are knowledgeable is to retrain and retest yourself to ensure you still understand WHMIS and are aware of any changes in WHMIS since the last time you were trained and tested.

If you have any questions as to your need for WHMIS training you can contact your provincial WHMIS authority and they can determine based on your workplace and the presence or absence of controlled products.

When you realize you need Canadian WHMIS certification, you typically need it right away. Maybe you have just hired a new employee and they need WHMIS training. Maybe you are retraining all of your employees.

Either way, with online WHMIS training provided conveniently online, you can schedule someone's WHMIS training in minutes. You'll even get a notification email when they have completed it, including a copy of their WHMIS Certificate of Completion.

And if you are an individual looking for personal WHMIS training in Canada to help you get a job or contract or term work, you can sign up, pay online and complete the training, from the convenience of your own home or wherever you have Internet access.
