About WHMIS 2015

GHS (Globally Harmonized System) is a globally recognized system developed by the United Nations for standardizing chemical hazard classification and communication, aiming to ensure consistent chemical handling and safety practices worldwide, with WHMIS 2015 being its Canadian counterpart; it involves training workers to understand hazard information on labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS), emphasizing the right to know and understand hazardous materials and their health effects through various routes of entry, such as inhalation, ingestion, absorption, and injection.
