What if workplace safety was not just a responsibility but a mark of excellence for your business? Come aboard as we travel back to 1988, when WHMIS  first made a splash in Canada. We ponder the evolution of these courses, the birth of the WHMIS system, and its significance in harmonizing Canada's safety standards with the world. This serves as a potent toolkit for businesses, especially restaurants, aiding in hazard identification, label understanding, and workplace accident prevention.

Can you imagine the power of a simple label in signaling potential chemical hazards? We delve into the realm of regulated training and safety labels, emphasizing TDG (transportation of dangerous goods). Then, we navigate the complex web of chemical hazards, exploring the seven classifications and the crucial role of portion control. In this digital age, we discuss how technology like auto-dispensers and tablets maintain safe chemical levels and why older generations may struggle with their usage.

What does it take to build a workforce adept in safety practices today? Unveiling the importance of training and certification, we uncover how the internet has transformed information access, making it easier than ever. We explore the changing business costs since 1988 and how you, as an employer, can effectively manage your employees' training and certifications. Whether you're an industry veteran or a rookie, this episode is brimming with valuable insights to ensure your business is compliant with the necessary regulations and standards. Tune in and empower yourself with the knowledge that safeguards your employees and boosts your business credibility.
