Q: WHAT IS? WORKPLACE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS INFORMATION SYSTEM Q: WHAT ARE THE OBJECTIVES OF WHMIS? Q: WHY WAS WHMIS DEVELOPED? Q: WHO DEVELOPED WHMIS?
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
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
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
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
LABOUR, INDUSTRY AND GOVERNMENT DEVELOPED WHMIS OCTOBER 31 1988, 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.
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..
DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES: CARPETS/ FURNITURE IN EVENT OF A FIRE GLASS CLEANER VARSOL MIXED CHEMICALS TOILET BOWL CLEANER AND BLEACH
DANGEROUS SUBSTANCES GLUES, PAINT & VARNISH REMOVER WHITE OUT FANTASTIC GASOLINE & PROPANE PESTICIDES WD40
