WHMIS 2015 & TDG Training

Our WHMIS & TDG courses provide comprehensive training on Workplace Hazardous Materials Information Systems (WHMIS) and Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG). Participants will learn about labeling, handling, and storage requirements to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System and Transportation of Dangerous Goods Training, or WHMIS and TDG, are regulated required training designed to ensure the proper handling and transportation of a variety of hazardous materials and dangerous goods. Safety procedures are extremely important when handling and transporting dangerous goods. Proper safety procedures help protect the workers handling dangerous goods and prevent spills or contamination that could affect the public.

WHMIS 2015

In 2015, WHMIS was updated to align with the United Nations’ Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). The update was designed to improve clarity, communication, and worker safety. Peak Safety’s WHMIS 2015 courses cover key elements of WHMIS 2015, including pictograms, supplier and workplace labels, safety data sheets, and worker training.
