WHMIS SHSM Certification

Overview:

A WHMIS certification (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) is a core requirement for many Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) programs in Ontario. This essential training helps students understand how to work safely around hazardous materials, chemical products, and controlled substances commonly found in workplaces across Canada. WHMIS is recognized nationwide and is a valuable credential for students pursuing pathways in health care, manufacturing, transportation, food processing, construction, environment, agriculture, and community services.

WHMIS training teaches students how to read and understand hazard symbols, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and product labels. Learners develop the ability to identify risks, take proper precautions, and follow safe handling procedures. Students also gain a clear understanding of worker rights, employer responsibilities, and how to protect themselves and others in a variety of workplace situations. With interactive scenarios and practical examples, WHMIS helps students build strong safety awareness — a skill valued across all industries.
