Workplace and consumer label
WHMIS is in effect for a product before it is purchased.
The three main parts of Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) are labels on containers, safety data sheets (SDS), and worker education and training. Labels provide information on hazards, SDS contain detailed information on the properties and hazards of the product, and worker education and training ensures that workers understand how to work safely with hazardous materials.
No some products such as household and pesticide products do not have a WHMIS label :D

WHMIS = Workplace Hazardous Materials Information Safety HHPS = Household Hazardous Product Safety
WHMIS stands for Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System. It is a comprehensive system for providing information on hazardous materials used in the workplace, including labels and safety data sheets.
WHMIS provides hazard information through labels on containers, safety data sheets (SDS) with detailed information on hazards and safe use, and worker education and training on handling hazardous materials.
Hazardous household product symbols and WHMIS symbols are similar in that they both use pictograms to represent specific hazards associated with chemicals. However, they are different in their design and specific symbols used. The WHMIS symbols are standardized and regulated for workplace use, while household product symbols may vary depending on the product and manufacturer.
Employers are responsible for ensuring that WHMIS provides the protection it was designed to in the workplace. This includes proper implementation, training of employees, and maintaining up-to-date safety data sheets and labels. Employees also play a role in following safe work practices and protocols as outlined in the WHMIS training.
The three parts of the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) are labels on containers, safety data sheets (SDS), and worker education and training. These components work together to ensure that hazardous materials are handled safely in the workplace.
The three main elements of WHIMS are: product classification systems, safety data sheets (SDS), and worker education and training.
