WHMIS Responsibilities for Businesses
Provincial occupational health and safety legislation generally places responsibility on employers to ensure workers receive appropriate WHMIS education and training when hazardous products are used, handled, or stored in the workplace. This includes maintaining access to Safety Data Sheets and ensuring hazardous products are labeled according to current standards.
Government guidance emphasizes that WHMIS education should reflect the actual hazards present in a workplace. Employers commonly review training practices when new products are introduced, procedures change, or regulations are updated.
The overall objective of WHMIS is to support consistent hazard communication and informed safety practices — not to replace internal safety policies or supervision.
