Who provides WHMIS education and training to workers?
It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure workers are adequately educated and trained. If the employer cannot provide the required education and training, consultant(s) can be employed by the employer to provide it. Education covers the information about the product, while training must include how to safely use the product – i.e., include actual work procedures.
