The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System, or WHMIS as it is commonly known, is a Canada-wide system to provide employers and workers with information about the hazardous materials they work with job to protect their health and safety. Above all else, WHMIS is an information system, using labels, Material Safety Data Sheets, and worker education programs to ensure that workers are aware of the hazards of the materials they handle. It is important that staff trained in WHMIS are given every opportunity to retain the knowledge received during training and one method would be to ensure that they each receive a manual to refer to when questions arise in the future. These participant books are part of the DBAI WHMIS training program but can also be purchased to enhance in-house training programs. These Manuals are available in French and English
