WHMIS stands for the ‘Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System’. WHMIS is one of the most in-demand industry training courses in Canada. This specialized WHMIS awareness course has been developed as a quick introduction to WHMIS for Food Service Workers and is included free when you register for the Food Safety for Food Handlers course. You can complete this course in about 30 minutes and print your own completion certificate. This provides you with an additional desirable qualification that will enhance your employability.
WHMIS Certificate note: Unlike Food Safety, there is no set ‘certification standard’ or retraining period for WHMIS Training in Canada. Your employer is obligated to provide the site-specific element of WHMIS training in your workplace. This WHMIS Certificate will document your completion of this course, but does not provide certification to an officially recognized standard. WHMIS is, however, well recognized by food service employers, and evidence of training is highly desirable.

They want food service workers to understand and appreciate their concerns about the serious issues affecting them.
