WHMIS training is legally required for everyone in Canada who works with or may encounter hazardous materials at work. In Ontario, WHMIS legislation applies to all workplaces except farms.
The following points are intended to guide workplace parties and inspectors when determining which workers should participate in instruction and training:
- An exposed worker is any worker who uses, handles, stores or disposes of a hazardous product, or who directly supervises another worker performing these activities.
- A worker likely to be exposed is any worker who could be at risk during:
- the use, handling, storage or disposal of a hazardous product;
- maintenance operations; or
- emergencies, such as an accidental leak or spill.
