Get your workers WHMIS 2015 trained and fully compliant with Ontario's OHSA requirements. In-person delivery in Mississauga or on-site across the GTA. Same-week booking available.
MOL inspectors regularly audit WHMIS compliance across Ontario workplaces. Untrained workers, outdated WHMIS 1988 training, and missing SDSs are among the most common — and costly — violations found. A single order can shut down operations until compliance is demonstrated.
Per-worker and team pricing available. Most employers complete WHMIS training in a single day — the lowest-friction compliance requirement you'll ever check off.

Under the OHSA, every employer must ensure workers are trained on hazardous products before they work with or near them. An MOL inspector finding untrained workers can issue an immediate compliance order and halt operations until training is completed and documented.
OHSA violations for failure to provide WHMIS training carry fines up to $100,000 per offence for employers, and up to $25,000 for supervisors personally. Repeat offences can result in prosecution and increased penalties under the Provincial Offences Act.
WHMIS 2015 replaced the old system in 2018. Workers trained only under the old system are no longer compliant — new pictograms, SDS formats, and labelling requirements apply. Many Ontario employers don't realize their existing training records are out of date.
If a worker is injured by a hazardous product and you cannot demonstrate they were trained, your liability exposure increases dramatically. Training records are your first line of defence in any WSIB claim or MOL investigation following a chemical incident.
Our WHMIS 2015 training covers every requirement under Ontario's OHSA and the federal Hazardous Products Act. Delivered by experienced trainers who make the material practical and relevant to your specific workplace.
What changed from WHMIS 1988 to WHMIS 2015, and why. How Canada's system aligns with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) and what that means for your workplace.
All 10 GHS hazard classes, their pictograms, and what they mean in practice. Physical hazards, health hazards, and environmental hazards — and how to recognize them on a label.
How to read and interpret WHMIS 2015 supplier labels. Workplace label requirements when decanting or transferring products. What must appear on every hazardous product container.
All 16 sections of a WHMIS 2015 SDS and where to find critical safety information. How to locate your SDS binder, access digital SDS systems, and use them in an emergency.
Proper handling and storage practices for hazardous products in your workplace. Disposal requirements, spill response procedures, and PPE selection based on product hazards.
The right to know, the right to participate, and the right to refuse unsafe work. What employers must provide and document. Assessment included — certificates issued same day.
Under Ontario's OHSA, every employer must ensure that workers are trained on any hazardous product they work with or may be exposed to — before they begin work with that product.
Any facility using chemicals, solvents, lubricants, adhesives, paints, or industrial cleaners. WHMIS training is mandatory for all workers who handle or work near these products.
Workers using concrete sealers, adhesives, solvents, welding gases, coatings, and other hazardous products on construction sites require valid WHMIS 2015 training.
Workers who store, move, or handle products classified as hazardous — even if they don't open them — must be trained on the products present in their work area.
Hospitals, clinics, labs, and research facilities using biohazardous materials, disinfectants, and chemical agents must maintain current WHMIS 2015 training for all exposed workers.
Every new employee who will work with or near hazardous products must be trained before they begin that work — regardless of any previous WHMIS training at a prior employer.
Workers trained under WHMIS 1988 are no longer compliant. Any worker without documented WHMIS 2015 training needs to be brought up to date before an MOL audit.
WHMIS training is one of the fastest compliance requirements to check off. Most teams are fully trained and certified in a single day.

WHMIS 2015 aligns Canada's system with the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for chemical classification and labelling. Key differences include new pictograms, updated hazard classes, Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) replacing MSDSs, and revised labelling requirements. Workers trained only under WHMIS 1988 are no longer compliant and must be retrained.
Ontario's OHSA doesn't specify a fixed renewal period, but employers must ensure training remains current and relevant. Retraining is required when new hazardous products are introduced, when work procedures change, or when a supervisor identifies gaps. Annual renewal is common best practice and is expected during an MOL audit.
Yes. On-site delivery is available across the GTA and Ontario. For larger teams, on-site training is often more cost-effective and allows content to be tailored to your specific hazardous products and SDSs. Contact us to discuss your location and group size.
Yes. Workplace-specific WHMIS training is a requirement under the OHSA — generic training alone is not sufficient. We incorporate your product inventory and SDSs into the training so workers understand the specific hazards they encounter in their actual work environment.
