Health Canada Releases Proposal to Align WHMIS Standard with GHS
Sep 4, 2014
Health Canada has released its proposal that would repeal and replace the Controlled Products Regulations, and make consequential amendments to related regulations, to implement the GHS in Canada. The implementation of the GHS through their proposed regulatory amendments is intended to achieve the Canada-United States Regulatory Cooperation Council commitment to align and synchronize implementation of common classification and labelling requirements for workplace hazardous chemicals within the mandate of Health Canada and the United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). It is expected that Health Canada will set a June 2015 implementation date to align with the implementation timetable for OSHA's HCS 2012 regulations.
