Get WHMIS training and a record of completion with Achieve Safety’s four-hour Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System course. Designed for Ontario workers and employers, this course covers WHMIS hazard pictograms, supplier and workplace labels, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), chemical exposure risks and safe handling practices.

How Do I Get WHMIS Certification in Ontario?

To get WHMIS certification in Ontario, you must complete appropriate education about hazardous products and demonstrate an understanding of the information covered. Training typically includes WHMIS hazard classifications, pictograms, supplier and workplace labels, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), safe handling practices and emergency procedures.

Achieve Safety offers a four-hour WHMIS training course for workers and employers across Ontario. Participants receive a record of training upon successful completion.

We offers WHMIS training in Brampton, Barrie, Mississauga, Toronto, Etobicoke, Oakville, Hamilton, Niagara Falls, Milton, Guelph & surrounding areas such as Cambridge, Waterloo, Orangeville, Shelburne, Fergus, Elora, Arthur & Markdale in Ontario.  To arrange training, contact Achieve Safety, confirm the available course date and delivery format, and register for the session.

Employers must also ensure workers receive instruction specific to the hazardous products, exposure risks and procedures at their workplace. A general WHMIS certificate does not automatically satisfy every workplace-specific requirement under Ontario Regulation 860.

WHMIS certification is evidence of training completion, not a government-issued occupational licence.

What Will You Learn in WHMIS Training?

Achieve Safety’s four-hour WHMIS course introduces the information workers need to recognize hazardous products, understand chemical hazards and follow safe workplace procedures. The course provides foundational hazard communication knowledge. Employers remain responsible for any additional workplace-specific instruction required for their operations.

Can I Complete WHMIS Certification Online?

Onsite WHMIS training and Online WHMIS courses are available in Ontario and can cover the general education component of WHMIS training. Employers must still ensure workers receive the instruction needed for their actual workplace hazards and procedures.

Contact Achieve Safety to confirm the delivery options currently available for this course.

I recently completed the Book 7 Ontario Traffic Control Training with Achieve Safety and Compliance, and I highly recommend them to anyone requiring Book 7 certification or refresher training. The instructor was knowledgeable, engaging, and explained the material in a clear and practical manner. Complex topics from the Ontario Traffic Manual Book 7 were broken down into easy-to-understand concepts with real-world examples, making the training both informative and enjoyable. The course materials were well organized, and the instructor took the time to answer questions and ensure everyone understood the key requirements for working safely in temporary traffic control zones. Thank you for delivering a well-organized and professional training experience!

We had a work safety meeting recently. Typically I find these meetings can sometimes be really wordy or dry. I feel like Tyler must’ve been doing this for a while, because he has mastered a way of not talking to you, but rather with you. It felt like a great conversation. He had so much knowledge and delivered the information in a way that still had me engaged. This to me was easily the best delivery of safety and compliance material that I have ever received.
