Did you know that every employer is required to provide staff training in hazardous materials safety?

The WHMIS course offered by Spectrum Safety Services is a simple and informative course that is administered as a self study program.

Arrangements can be made to purchase the 50 page self study guide which contains interesting reading and excercises designed to help you understand the hazards of the chemicals you work with and learn how to protect yourself.

The self study guide can usually be completed in 2-4 hours. Once completed, a representative from Spectrum Safety Services will review the guide, correct the self-administered exam and issue certification.
