To align with the Department of Labour, Skills, and Immigration’s new WHMIS regulations and Canada’s WHMIS framework, Construction Safety is offering WHMIS training for all supervisors.

What Is New:

There are many new changes in the updated regulations, but the major changes are as follows:

• There are new definitions that clarify the difference between general WHMIS education and workplace safety training.

• WHMIS training applies to those who are both self-employed and at risk of hazardous materials.

Important Information:

• This change was enacted on June 18th and has been incorporated into Part 3 of the Workplace Health and Safety Regulations.

• There is a six-month transition period for affected workplaces to take the program.
