Responding to the expressed needs of workers, the Workers Health & Safety Centre (WHSC) is now offering free WHMIS training via our new virtual classroom until the end of April.
This offer is made during these unprecedented and challenging times to help ensure essential workers still working during COVID-19 have ongoing access to trusted, potentially life-saving training.
We are beginning with Globally Harmonized (GHS) WHMIS training to help safeguard workers' short and long term health. Mix the wrong cleaning supplies for instance and a deadly gas could be created. Work with some products without proper controls and occupational disease may be the result in years to come.
Dates available: April 23rd, 24th, 27th, 29th, and 30th, 2020
When: Sessions each day, 10am-12pm OR 1pm-3pm
Cost: This limited introductory offer is FREE of charge
