This WHMIS 2023 GHS course informs the learner of the standards established by the United Nations for the safe manufacturing and handling of chemicals. On January 4, 2023 the Government of Canada published an amendment to the Hazardous Products Regulations. Important classification update areas include Flammable Gases, Aerosols, Chemicals Under Pressure, Corrosive/Irritants and amendments to the Hazardous Products Regulations. These same standards are applicable in most every country on the planet. We developed this course so that you can become apprised of these standards efficiently and effectively.
Toxic gases may trap workers inside many confined spaces. Lack of proper oxygen can create breathing issues for them. On the other hand, harmful chemicals float around without any noticeable odor. Moving parts or electrical wires hide in the dark. Flooding or falling materials threaten anyone trapped inside. A lack of proper oxygen can cause problems. Workers also face rescue challenges because rescuing someone from a tight hole requires specialized tools and training. Our confined space training in BC trains you to identify each hazard before entering.

WHMIS and TDG (Online)
In Canada, suppliers, employers, and workers use the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) to communicate and identify the risks associated with products used in the workplace. WHMIS aligns with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) used by many countries around the world.
In December 2022, amendments to the Hazardous Products Regulations (HPR) meant changes to the previously used WHMIS 2015. Health Canada outlined a 3-year transition period to give those who use WHMIS time to make the necessary changes. As of December 2025, anyone who uses WHMIS must follow the amended HPR.
This WHMIS course aims to give you a basic understanding of the system, including general principles, worker safety, and significant updates.
This course covers the following five chapters:
Chapter 1: What is WHMIS?
Chapter 2: Hazard Identification and Product Classification
Chapter 3: Labels
Chapter 4: Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
Chapter 5: Workplace Education and Training
This course includes activities, self-assessment questions, and a final exam.
The Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) course covers crucial information pertaining to the legal transportation of dangerous goods on Canadian roads. After completing this course, participants should know the regulations governing the transportation of dangerous goods in Canada; the 9 classifications of dangerous goods; the placards, labels, and accompanying TDG symbols required on vehicles and containers; documentation requirements when transporting dangerous goods; and requirements surrounding appropriate emergency response in the event of an accidental product release or spill.
