It was a lot of work for companies to change over to the GHS, but it was worth the effort, so that everything is consistent and easier to understand and now it’s worldwide – which is helpful.

Questions to Ponder:

Have you changed everything over to SDS?

Do you have all the necessary SDS’s for your company and any items that you currently sell?

Does everyone have the WHMIS course, if needed?
