All containers of controlled products should have WHMIS labels.
If I pour some chemical from a large container into a smaller container, the smaller container will need a workplace label.
To create a workplace label, it’s adequate to write the name of the product on the bottle and the initials of the employee who decanted it.
If my department orders a new WHMIS controlled product, Safety needs to be notified.
It is good practice to store containers of different WHMIS classes separately.
After this quiz, I’m fully WHMIS trained and can handle any controlled product safely
