WHMIS 2021 - What Does Great WHMIS Training Look Like in 2021?
You might be surprised to learn that although it is 2021, the most recent Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) training is still called WHMIS 2015. As WHMIS is Canada’s national communication standard, the 2015 version of the training is the most up to date until any revisions are made to hazard classification, labeling, or the provision of safety data sheets on a national level. So while it may confusing to search for recent training and always see 2015 in the search results, rest assured that this is the most updated form of WHMIS training available.
