Since

June 1, 2018

WHMIS/GHS, what do you eat in winter?

WHMIS: Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System
GHS: Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals
Since February 11, 2015, GHS has been integrated into WHMIS. Why? To improve the communication of information on hazardous products, while integrating new requirements into the old WHMIS. Since the integration of the GHS, WHMIS has been referred to as “WHMIS 2015” or “WHMIS/GHS”.
