**WHMIS Legislation changes** Okanagan College is offering the WHMIS 1988 course this fall; however if you need the new WHMIS 2015 (GHS) you can contact the college to set up a course.

The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) has aligned with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). GHS is a worldwide system. The WHMIS 2015 legislation is currently in force.

"In force" means that suppliers may begin to use and follow the new requirements for labels and safety data sheets (SDSs) for hazardous products sold, distributed, or imported into Canada.

However, there is a transition period with various stages. At the outset of the transition period, the supplier must fully comply with either the repealed Controlled Products Regulations (WHMIS 1988) or the HPR (WHMIS 2015) for a specific controlled or hazardous product. The classification, label and (material) SDS must comply fully with the specific regulation chosen by the supplier, and not be a combination of the two.

By Dec 2018, all businesses in Canada (manufacturers, suppliers, distributors and employers) must comply with all of the changes from WHMIS 1988 to WHMIS 2015(GHS). For more information please go to: www.ccohs.ca/topics/legislation/WHMIS
