WHMIS is the acronym for Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System. It is a comprehensive plan for providing information on the safe use of hazardous materials.
Exposure to hazardous materials can cause or contribute to many serious health effects such as effects on the nervous system, kidney or lung damage, sterility, cancer, burns and rashes.
Some hazardous materials are safety hazards and can cause fires or explosions.
WHMIS was created to help stop the injuries, illnesses, deaths, medical costs, and fires caused by hazardous materials.
Products with different WHMIS symbols should be stored separately.
