Workplace Hazardous Materials

The Hazardous Products Act. (R.S., 1985, c. H-3) This act prohibits advertising, sale, and import of hazardous products. It requires Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) labels and Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for chemicals. It also allows inspection of facilities for compliance. 

There are a number of requirements in the existing systems that relate to size, appearance, and placement of the labels. For example, the Canadian Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) system requires a border around the label that distinguishes it from labels of other systems.

In Canada, there is a workplace chemical safety rule called the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS). WHMIS requires that the supplier or employer update or replace the SDS every three years. This is for Canada only, but often in the U.S. employers assume that they must also replace their SDSs every three years.

For those working largely with chemicals, the hazardous substances requirements of the relevant act and regulations must be addressed. In Manitoba, for example, this would involve the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) Regulations 52/88. Many employees will need to be familiar with the requirements in the relevant act and regulations appropriate to plant, equipment and tools. 

In Canada, the set of provincial and federal regulations, collectively known as Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS), stipulates similar requirements. The Provincial Acts and regulations in this area either adopt or provide essentially the same requirements as the Federal Hazardous Products Act and the Controlled Products Regulations under that Act [21, 22].
