2 Q: WHAT IS? WORKPLACE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INFORMATION SYSTEM Q: WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF WHMIS? Q: WHY WAS WHMIS DEVELOPED? Q: WHO DEVELOPED WHMIS?

3 ANS: TO ENSURE THE EMPLOYEE HAS A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF THE WHMIS REGULATIONS TO INSTRUCT EMPLOYEES SO THEY UNDESTAND: INFORMATION LABELS INFORMATION ON MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS INFORMATION ON ALTERNATIVE HOME CLEANERS INFORMATION ON HOW HAZARDOUS MATERIALS CAN ENTER YOUR BODY AND THE DAMAGE THAT CAN BE DONE

4 WHMIS = THE RIGHT TO KNOW TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS/ INJURIES IN THE WORKPLACE & PROVIDE INFORMATION ABOUT THE HAZARDOUS MATERIAL YOU WORK WITH. 3 WAYS INFORMATION IS PROVIDED: LABELS M.S.D.S WORKER EDUCATION

5 Q: WHY WAS WHMIS DEVELOPED? INFORMATION WAS INCOMPLETE, INCONSISTENT OR NOT AVAILABLE EMPLOYEES/ EMPLOYERS NOT AWARE OF HAZARDS TO PROVIDE ALL CANADIANS A UNIFORM AND APPROPRIATE QUANTITY OF INFO ABOUT HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

6 CHANGE CAME FROM KNOWLEDGE THAT SAFETY PAYS CHANGE CAME FROM EMPLOYEES LESS WILLING TO TOLERATE POOR PRACTICES CHANGE CAME FROM KNOWLEDGE OF DANGER TO WORKERS/ COMMUNITIES/ ENVIRONMENT

7 LABOUR, INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENT DEVELOPED WHMIS OCTOBER , AS AN AMENDMENT TO SEC.35 OF O.H.& S.A LEVELS OF TRAINING: GENERAL TRG FOR LABELS & MSDS SPECIFIC ON THE JOB HAZARDOUS MATERIALS & THE HANDLING, STORAGE, USE AND EMERGENCIES J.H.& S.C.

8 WHMIS AT WORK APPLIES EQUALLY AT HOME! Q: WHAT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS SUBSTANCE AROUND YOUR HOUSE? ANSWER: ALMOST ANYTHING YOU USE WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF ITS PROPERTIES..

9 DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES: CARPETS/ FURNITURE IN EVENT OF A FIRE GLASS CLEANER VARSOL MIXED CHEMICALS TOILET BOWL CLEANER AND BLEACH

10 DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES GLUES, PAINT & VARNISH REMOVER WHITE OUT FANTASTIC GASOLINE & PROPANE PESTICIDES WD40

11 VIDEO

12 EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES: PARTICIPATE IN PROGRAM USE THE INFO PROTECT THEMSELVES & THEIR COWORKERS ASK QUESTIONS WHERE THEY DON T UNDERSTAND

13 HAZARDOUS CLASSES AND SYMBOLS: A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE IS ANY PRODUCT, MATERIAL OR SUBSTANCE THAT IS INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE 6 CLASSES:

14 6 CLASSES: CLASS A COMPRESSED GAS

15 CLASS B: COMBUSTIBLE & FLAMMABLE:

16 CLASS C: OXIDIZING MATERIALS

17 CLASS D DIV 1: POISONOUS/ INFECTIOUS

18 CLASS D DIV. 2: INFECTIOUS

19 CLASS D DIV.3: BIOHAZARDOUS

20 CLASS E: CORROSIVE MATERIALS

21 CLASS F: DANGEROUSLY REACTIVE MATERIAL

22 EXEMPTIONS: EXPLOSIVES EXPLOSIVES ACT COSMETICS, DRUGS, DEVICES OR FOOD RE: FOOD AND DRUG ACT HAZARDOUS WASTE BUT EMPLOYER MUST SECURE SAFE STORAGE AND HANDLING THROUGH I.D. & EDUCATION CONSUMER PRODUCTS MATERIALS PACKAGED AS A CONSUMER PRODUCT IN QUANTITIES NORMALLY PURCHASED BY THE PUBLIC

23 EXEMPTIONS: PESTICIDES UNDER THE PEST CONTROL ACT WOOD OR WOOD PRODUCTS TOBACCO/ TOBACCO PRODUCTS MANUFACTURED ARTICLES WHICH CONSUME CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES BUT DO NOT RELEASE A CONTROLLED PRODUCT WHEN FINISHED

24 HAZARD RECOGNITION ALL CONTROLLED PRODUCTS MUST BE IDENTIFIED IN 4 WAYS: SUPPLIER LABELS WORKPLACE LABELS PLACARDS WORKPLACE IDENTIFIERS

25 LABELLING: ANY MARK, SIGN, DEVICE,STAMP, SEAL, STICKER, TICKET, TAG OR WRAPPER 2 TYPES OF LABELS: SUPPLIER LABELS AND WORKPLACE LABELS

26 SUPPLIER LABELS: BOTH OFFICIAL LANGUAGES 100ML OR GREATER REQUIRES: PRODUCT IDENTIFIER SUPPLIER IDENTIFIER MSDS STATEMENT HAZARD SYMBOL RISK PHASES PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES FIRST AID MEASURES

27

28 MATERIALS WITH < 100ML. REQUIRES THESE 4 SECTIONS: PRODUCT IDENTIFIER RISK PHRASES 1 ST AID MEASURES PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES

29 WORKPLACE LABEL: AVAILABLE FROM SUPERVISOR AND IS REQUIRED WHERE: 1. CONTROLLED PRODUCT IS TRANSFERRED FROM A BULK TO A SMALLER CONTAINER 2. A CONTROLLED PRODUCT IS MADE AND USED ON SITE.

30 WORKPLACE LABELS: 3. WHMIS SUPPLIER LABEL IS DAMAGED. IT MUST BE REPLACED BEFORE PRODUCT CAN BE USED 4. BULK STORAGE CONTAINERS. IN THE EVENT THAT A SUPPLIER HASN T SENT A SUPPLIER LABEL 5. PRODUCTS HELD IN QUARANTINE REQUIRE A WP LABEL BEFORE USE

31 REQUIRED INFO ON WP LABELS: PRODUCT IDENTIFIER THE CHEMICAL, COMMON, GENERIC OR TRADE NAMES SAFE HANDLING PROCEDURES MSDS STATEMENT

32 VARSOL USE IN WELL VENTILATED ROOM RUBBER GLOVES MUST BE WORN WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES KEEP AWAY FROM SPARKS/ FLAME CAN CAUSE ORGAN DAMAGE CAN IRRITATE EYES AND SKIN FOR MORE INFORMATION SEE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

33 PLACARDS: AN IDENTIFICATION SIGN WHERE A SUPPLIER OR WP LABEL CAN T BE USED CONTAIN NAME OF PRODUCT HAZARD INFO REF. TO M.S.D.S.

34 PLACARDS: LOOSE PRODUCTS NOT IN SHIPPING CONTAINERS CONTROLLED PRODUCTS NOT YET SUPPLIER LABELLED FOR CANADA FOR SALE OUTSIDE CANADA PRODUCTS IN QUARANTINE FUGITIVE EMISSIONS/ HAZARDOUS WASTES..

35 DANGER ASBESTOS CANCER AND LUNG DISEASE HAZARD DO NOT CREATE DUST DO NOT DISTURB PIPE INSULATION AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY REPIRATORS AND PROTECTIVE CLOTHING ARE REQUIRED IN THIS AREA SEE MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET

36 Q: IF YOU RECEIVE A CONTROLLED PRODUCT WITHOUT A SUPPLIER LABEL, CAN YOU USE IT? NO REPORT INCIDENT TO SUPERVISOR REFUSE THE PRODUCT OR QUARANTINE & REQUEST LABEL

37 Q: WHEN ARE WHMIS LABELS NOT REQUIRED? 1. WHEN A CONTROLLED PRODUCT IS BEING USED BY ONE PERSON IMMEDIATELY (EG. EPOXY RESIN & HARDENER) 2. FUGITIVE EMISSIONS SUCH AS EXHAUST 3. WHEN IT IS NOT A WHMIS CONTROLLED PRODUCT

38 LABORATORY PRODUCTS: VARIATIONS IN LABELLING FROM A LAB SUPPLY HOUSE TO BE USED ONLY IN A LAB PACKAGED IN <10 KG/ 22 LBS.
