As of December 1, 2018 all employers in Canada must be compliant with the New WHMIS 2015 Regulations. This update to Canada's WHMIS Regulations ensures alignment with the worldwide hazard communication system known as the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).

There has been several changes from the former WHMIS 1988 Regulations. It is strongly recommended that everyone that handles, stores, uses or disposes of hazardous products reviews the attachment.

Each supervisor must review a document and its imbedded links (please contact email kjrobinson@upei.ca for a copy) to determine what action is required to ensure their hazardous products are in compliance with the New Regulations. Please feel free to contact Kevin Robinson (Health, Safety and Environment Manager) for any additional information at kjrobinson@upei.ca or 902-566-0516.
