An important update regarding WHMIS


Do you have your own courses on Systems 24-7? Have you updated them online to reflect the WHMIS 2015 updates?

Just a reminder, if you have your own customized courses on Systems 24-7, you need to make sure they are updated when there is a change to legislation. You can use our course developer tools to make these updates online easily and quickly.

Below is a summary of the changes. If you have not already done so, please review your company specific modules to ensure the following updates have been made.

  • WHMIS symbols have changed and need to be updated from the circle to the diamond.

  • All reference to Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) need to be changed to Safety Data Sheets (SDS).
