MSDS/WHMIS Safety
Sheets
What they are:
WHMIS stands for the Workplace Hazardous Materials
Information System. It is a federal and provincial program
that ensures workers get accurate health and safety information
about the products they use. The program regulates bottle
labelling, MSDS and worker education programs.
The MSDS is the Material Safety Data Sheet
that outlines everything workers need to know to safely handle
the materials they use every day. It explains the potential
hazards of a product, methods of protection and cleanup and
emergency procedures in the event of an emergency.
Workplace materials cover everything from paint to ice melter
to cleaning chemicals. We have all the necessary MSDS for
the products we carry.
For updated MSDS or other WHMIS info contact Slope Side Supply.
Follow this link to the Federal government's website for more
information on WHMIS.
