4. WHMIS 2015
What is GHS?
In February 2015, Canada incorporated the Globally Harmonized System or GHS. It was an international initiative to standardize chemical hazard classification and communication globally.
WHMIS is a national hazard communication system that provides information on the safe use of hazardous products in Canadian workplaces. GHS has not replaced WHMIS. WHMIS has incorporated GHS elements, resulting in new standardized:
Common set of rules for classification of hazardous products
Common rules for labelling
Standard format for Safety Data Sheet (SDS) - (formerly MSDS - material safety data sheet)

5. Responsibilities Worker Responsibilities:
Workers are required to report any violation or hazards to their supervisor. Unsafe product conditions, problems with labels or problems with safety data sheets must be reported. Workers are also responsible for participating in training.
Employer Responsibilities:
Employers must ensure the products in their workplace are properly labeled and have a safety data sheet. They are also required to educate their workers.
Supplier Responsibilities:
Suppliers are responsible for determining whether or not their product falls under WHMIS. If it does, they must provide appropriate labels and safety data sheets

6. Labels
When is a supplier label appropriate? What features and content appear on a supplier label? When is a workplace label appropriate? What features and content appear on a workplace label? What is TBRHSC’s procedure for creating a workplace label? When is a workplace label not required? What are some special situations in terms of labeling controlled products?

7. Supplier Label
Suppliers can’t sell controlled products unless they are labeled. The product label is the worker’s first source of information about the hazards of a product and how to use it safely. In WHMIS 2015, supplier labels for hazardous workplace products must display the information elements shown on the next slide.

8. Supplier Label 1. Product Identifier
The product name exactly as it appears on the container and on the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
2. Hazard Pictograms
Hazard pictograms, determined by the hazard classification of the product. In some cases, no pictogram is required.
3. Signal Words (NEW)
“Danger” or “Warning” are used to emphasize hazards and indicate the severity of the hazard.
4. Hazard Statements
Brief standardized statements of all hazards based on the hazard classification of the product.
5. Precautionary Statements
These statements describe recommended measures to minimize or prevent adverse effects from exposure to the product, including protective equipment and emergency measures. First aid is included in precautionary information.
6. Supplier Identifier
The company which made, packaged, sold or imported the product, and is responsible for the label and SDS. Contact the supplier for additional product information.

9. Information to be included on this label:
Workplace Label
When would you use a workplace label?
When a supplier label is removed
When a supplier label has become hard to read
When the product is transferred to another container
Information to be included on this label:
1. Name of the product (product identifier)
Information on how to use the product safely
Reference to the SDS for further information

10. Workplace Label Example of a TBRHSC’s Workplace Label
The format for workplace labels is flexible. For example:
The information can be written directly onto the container using a permanent marker
The language used can be chosen to fit the specific workplace
Hazard symbols and hatched borders are optional
In a few special cases, any form of clear identification, such as the name of the product, a colour code or a numbering system may be used instead of a workplace label. These cases include controlled WHMIS products:
In a piping system or other in-house conveyance systems
Transferred into workplace containers for use by one worker only and used up during the shift on which the container was filled

11. Workplace Label
A Workplace Label is NOT required when used: “exclusively by the worker who filled the container” and “only during the shift in which the portable container was filled” or “for immediate use”

12. Laboratory Label
 A laboratory label is used instead of a supplier label if the controlled WHMIS product: 
Originates from a laboratory supply house
Is intended by the employer solely for use in a laboratory
Is packaged in a container in a quantity of less that 10 kg
Information to be included on this label:
1. Name of chemical
2. First aid measures
3. Risk phrase(s)
4. Precautionary measure
5. The statement “refer to MSDS”
Labels on laboratory samples for analysis require the product identifier only when the samples are produced in the laboratory exclusively for the purpose of evaluating, testing or analysis within the laboratory.

13. Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
When is a SDS appropriate? What features appear on a SDS? What Content appears on a SDS? How do you use SDS binders? How do you use the online SDS database?

14. Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
Every controlled product at TBRHSC must be shipped with a SDS and a Supplier Label. Unlike under the old WHMIS requirements, SDSs are no longer required to be update every three years.
Suppliers are required to update the SDS and Supplier Label when “significant new information becomes available (NOTE: Significant new information = Changes in classification and/or protective measures)
There is a standardized format. Information must always be in the same section regardless of which supplier created the SDS
Unlike under the old WHIMS requirements, instead on nine mandatory sections there are now sixteen. (*Note that sections twelve to fifteen require the headings to be present. The supplier has the option to not provide information in these sections)

15. SDS’s Sixteen Categories to be covered in a MSDS Product Information
Product identifier, recommended us and restrictions on use, supplier contact information, emergency phone number.
Hazard Identification
Classification (hazard calls and category), label elements (including hazard pictogram, signal word, hazard statement and precautionary statements) and other hazards (I.e., thermal hazards)
Composition / information on ingredients
For a hazardous product that is a substance: the chemical name, synonyms, CAS No. and the chemical name of impurities, stabilizing solvents and stabilizing additives where classified and that contribute to the classification of the product
For a hazardous product that is a mixture: for ingredients that present a health hazard, the chemical name, synonyms, CAS No. and concentration
Note: Confidential Business Information Rules may apply
First-aid measures
First-aid measures by route of exposure as well as most important symptoms/effects

26. Safety and Emergency Procedures
How can controlled products enter the body? What preventive measures are required for the safe use of controlled products? What preventive measures are required during other interactions with controlled products? What procedures must be followed in case of an accident or emergency?

27. Routes of Entry

28. Preventative Measures
AVOIDANCE
Removing the controlled product is the most reliable method of protection. So, whenever possible, controlled products should be avoided
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Engineering controls create distance between the worker and the controlled product. Isolation of the product, proper ventilation and the changing of a process.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
(PPE)
It is a reality of the workplace that workers are inevitably going to have to work with a controlled product. In these situations, PPE is necessary.
Workers are to receive the appropriate PPE from their employer for all tasks. Workers have to be familiar with the different kinds of PPE

29. Other Interaction Leaks or Spills
Section 6: Accidental Release Measures of the SDS
Remember to read the SDS and discuss any concerns with your supervisor
Waste Disposal
Section 13: Disposal Considerations of the SDS.
Also, proper labelling of waste may be explained and references to special waste disposal regulations may be listed if they apply.
Storage Requirements
