What is GHS? correct answers Globally Harmonized System
GHS correct answers Is an international initiative to standardize chemical hazard classification
and communication globally
-helps harmonize hazard communication systems worldwide and provides set of guidelines for
ensuring the safe production, transport, handling, use and disposal of hazardous materials
Whmis is a national hazard communication system that correct answers Provides information on
the safe use of hazardous materials in Canadian workplaces GHS doesn't replace WHMIS
WHMIS Will be modified to incorporate the GHS elements with standardized correct answers
Chemical classification rules
Label requirements
Safety data sheets (SDS) format (formally MSDS)
The GHS has more detailed and comprehensive criteria which results in expanded hazard
categories and improved communication of hazards to workers. The resulting harmonization is
expected to correct answers Maintain/enhance worker protection while reducing barriers to trade
among countries
The GHS consists of two subcommittees: the subcommittee of experts on the transportation of
dangerous goods and the subcommittee of experts on the globally harmonized. These
subcommittees handle the technical aspects of the GHS and ensure that: correct answers -hazard
classification is based on intrinsic properties of the substances and mixtures
-all types of chemicals covered
-all stakeholders are involved
What is the GHS expected to do correct answers Identify hazards found in substances and
mixtures and communicate hazard information about these hazards. To achieve this the criteria
for hazard classification or match to the hazard statements, symbols, and signal words have been
standardize to form an integrated hazard communication system
Integrated hazard communication system by the GHS correct answers -GHS labels are the main
communication tool for consumers
-GHS is similar to existing transport requirements where containers will be marked with
pictograms that address acute toxicity, physical hazards, and environmental hazards. However,
signal words in hazard statements requirement haven't been adopted by the transportation sector
-all GHS elements are to be adopted in the workplaces, including harmonized labels, safety data
sheets, and employee training
Well WHMIS 2015 includesNew harmonize criteria for hazard classification and requirements
for labels and safety data sheets, correct answers The roles and responsibilities for suppliers
employers and workers have not changed
,Old WHMIS was formed in correct answers 1988 and amended in 2015
There are several pieces of legislation involved in WHMIS. Generally, federal legislation
requires suppliers of hazardous materials to disclose hazard information to correct answers The
end-users and defines the materials that are controlled under WHMIS. Provincial legislation
focusses on the requirements of WHMIS in the workplace

system with the globally harmonized system of classification and labelling of chemicals and
revamped the hazardous products act. New hazardous products regulation HPR is now enforced
Federal changes include correct answers -hazardous products act has been amended
-New hazardous products regulation has been established
-former parts of legislation such as controlled products regulation, hazardous materials

From 2015 to 2018 a transition period from old WHMIS to WHMIS 2015 GHS took place
correct answers The 2015 legislation is currently in force which means that suppliers may begin
to use and follow the new requirements for label and safety data sheets for hazardous product
sold, distributed, or imported into Canada
As with the old WHMI ass the WHMIS 2015 have a three key ways in which information on
hazardous materials is communicated. The supplier of the hazardous material provides the labels
and safety data sheets to the employer. The employer passes the information on to the worker
and provides education programs
LABELS: correct answers Labels under WHMIS 2015 have a few new requirements however
the main principle of the label remains the same as it is under old WHMIS to alert workers to the
hazards of the materials within
Safety data sheets correct answers Will follow 16 section format with specific information
requirements changes include providing the women's classification and label information in
section 2
Training correct answers Training under WHMIass 2015 is still mandatory and sheltering the
worker about WHMIS after its alignment with GHS
Stakeholders. The current roles and responsibilities for suppliers, employers and workers are not
changing under WHMIS 2015
SUPPLIERS correct answers Suppliers class if I hazardous products, prepare labels and safety
data sheets and provide these to customers
Employers correct answers Ensure that all hazardous products are properly labelled and make
up-to-date safety data sheets readily available two workers. Employers provide worker education
, and training and ensure appropriate control measures to protect the health and safety of workers.
Employers also implement workplace labels and safety data sheets are necessary
Workers correct answers Participate in WHMIS 2015 training programs; take all necessary steps
to protect themselves and their coworkers and participate in identifying and controlling hazards
Exemptions: certain hazardous materials exempt from the requirements of old WHMIS still
remain exempt from the requirements of WHMIS 2015 including correct answers -Small
capacity containers 100 mL or less: hazardous products packaged in small volume containers are
exempt from the requirements to bear precautionary or hazard statements on label. Lab users
might notice the above exempt on labels of the small amounts (100ml or less) of chemicals
ordered into lab
-small capacity containers 3 mL or less: hazardous products packaged in a container with a
capacity of 3 mL or less where the label interferes with the normal use of the product are
required to have a label that remains durable and legible only while in transport in storage, not
during their use
-bulk shipment in unpackaged hazardous products: the bulk shipment exemption includes has
this products sold without packaging of any sort such as book chemicals. These products are
exempt from the requirements for a label because all label information would be provided within
sections one and two of the safety data sheet. Therefore, it will be the responsibility of shipping
and receiving personnel to create a label based on that information
List of materials exempt from WHMIS correct answers -wood or wood products
-tobacco or tobacco products
-hazardous materials being transported as per requirements of transportation of dangerous goods
legislation
-manufactured articles
Whmis requires that worker training and education requirements are met for explosives, drugs,
and cosmetics, pesticides, radioactive materials, consumer products and hazardous waste correct
answers However safety data sheets are not required
Labels required under the specific legislation governing each of these products are accepted as
suitable under old WHMIS and WHMIS 2015 correct answers -explosives
-drugs and cosmetics
-pesticides
-radioactive materials
-consumer products (hazardous materials when packaged as consumer products in quantities
normally used by the consuming public)
-hazardous waste
Understanding the properties of materials is fundamental in ensuring that you develop work
practises that allow you to work with them safely let's begin by looking at some physical
parameters correct answers In addition to basic information such as colour and odour, relevant
physical data may include additional information such as whether the vapours will rise or fall or
whether it mixes with water.
