WHMIS Program

Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is Canada’s hazard communication system.  WHMIS was developed to provide workers with information on the safe use, storage, production, or handling of hazardous materials, also referred to as controlled products, in the workplace. 

Any person supplying or using controlled products must comply with WHMIS legislation: Manitoba Regulation 217/2006 Workplace Safety and Health Regulation.
