Website helps transition to WHMIS 2015

A new website is available to help Canadians transition from the old Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) to WHMIS 2015, which implements the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The site, www.whmis.net, provides Canadians with a single point of access to the most current information about the new system from every jurisdiction in Canada. The website also contains helpful tools and resources for workers, employers, suppliers and trainers, noted a press release from the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety, which developed the resource. The release noted that the website would be kept up-to-date with current information regarding the status of new and existing WHMIS laws and requirements in each jurisdiction.
