Surrey Business Owners
Are You WHMIS Compliant?
As a business owner in Surrey, you have a million things to manage—payroll, operations, and sales. But safety compliance is one area you cannot afford to overlook. Under WorkSafeBC regulations, **employers bear the ultimate responsibility** for ensuring their staff is trained on hazardous materials.
Your 3 Key Responsibilities
1. Education & Training
You must ensure workers understand WHMIS. This includes "Generic" training (like the course offered at RupIELTS) and "Site-Specific" training on the actual chemicals in your shop.
2. Proper Labeling
Ensure all hazardous products have supplier labels. If you decant a chemical into a generic spray bottle, you must apply a workplace label.
3. SDS Availability
Safety Data Sheets (SDS) must be readily accessible to workers, not locked in a manager's office. They must be kept up to date.
The Cost of Non-Compliance
Failing to train your staff isn't just dangerous; it's expensive. WorkSafeBC fines for non-compliance can range from thousands of dollars to site shutdowns. Compared to the low cost of a WHMIS course, the risk isn't worth it.
