How will you ensure your company's
compliance?
Countries around the world have developed legislation to regulate the storing and handling of hazardous materials. Businesses must comply with these regulations in order to be in compliance.
In Canada, employers are responsible for ensuring WHMIS Labels and MSDSs are in compliance. If your company is not compliant, under the Hazardous Products Act, you could receive significant penalties, including fines and/or imprisonment.
Employers are also responsible for ensuring workers have met the WHMIS education standard and can answer the following questions related to the controlled products they work with or near:
- What are the hazards of the controlled product?
- How are you protected from these hazards?
- What do you do in case of an emergency?
- Where can you get additional hazard information?
Ensuring compliance is a great concern for both the company and management. Some of the greatest compliance challenges include:
- Multiple/Employer Contractor Work Sites
- Large Chemical Inventories
- Inventory Systems
- Tracking MSDS expiries
- Regulatory Reporting
- Employee Education & Safety
- Health Risks and Exposures
- Emergency Response Guides
- Exposure Control Plans
- Company Liability
- Upcoming Global Harmonized System
