What is WHMIS

The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) provides Canadian workers with information about hazardous products used in the workplace.

Initially established in 1988 and updated in 2015, WHMIS aims to ensure employers and workers receive consistent and comprehensive health and safety information about the hazardous products they may be exposed to.

While this is a commercial page where we provide WHMIS online training courses, we've also created a dedicated page where you can learn more about WHMIS.

What you'll learn

WHMIS Online Training includes 6 modules and 6 tests.

WHMIS divides potential Hazards into two primary groups: Physical Hazards, and Health Hazards. Moving from the most general classification to more specific ones, these levels are hazard “group”, hazard “class”, hazard “category” and, in some cases, hazard “subcategory.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to assign the courses right after purchasing them?

When you purchase eSafetyFirst, the course credits do not expire.
For example, if you pay for 30 courses but end up using only 20, the remaining 10 credits will be available in your account until you use them, without having an expiration date.
Is there a pricing difference between Group and Individual Training?

No. The price is the same for both methods of training.
The only difference between them is how the training system works.
