- All controlled products at school or in the workplace must have WHMIS labels. - The purpose of a WHMIS label is to identify the product as controlled and alert handlers to the hazards and safe handling procedures of the product. A WHMIS label is just a first alert, as the amount of information in it is limited by its size. The MSDS provides more detailed information. It is important that you read the whole label before using a product for the first time. The label will give a brief summary of the most important things to know about the chemical.

WHMIS (2)

WHMIS stands for Workplace Hazardous
Materials Information System. (WHMIS)

It is an information system implemented in
workplaces that is designed to help students /
workers know more about safety and health
hazards of materials that they use in the
classroom, businesses, and industries.

Four parts: Hazard ID and Classification, Labels, SDS, education and training
