In addition to WHMIS training, anyone who handles or transports hazardous or dangerous materials should have this training. This includes employees in shipping and receiving, drivers, and even loaders within a business.

-Basic understanding of the Regulations

-The identification of and documentation for dangerous goods

-Exemptions

-Incident reporting

-Responsibilities of Shippers, Receivers, Carriers & Drivers

Successful participants will receive a certificate that is either an 'Awareness Certificate' or if training includes workplace (employer) specific training is valid for the a three year period provided that the participant does not change employers.
