WHMIS Compliance
WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) compliance is a national system, enforced through the Canada Labour Code, and applied in Ontario by the Ontario Health & Safety Act. Other applicable acts, include the Controlled Products Act and the Hazardous Products Act.
Several pertinent business benefits are garnered through our WHMIS related services. Among the most important are:

- Averting costly product loss due to accident/mishap
To facilitate the above benefits, John W. Winter & Associates provides a review of your WHMIS policy and procedures, on the three levels of WHMIS compliance; Education, Material Safety Data Sheets, and Labelling.
