At Hazox, we know that regulatory compliance can be stressful, time consuming, and expensive. That’s why it is our top priority to lessen your load while ensuring that you stay up-to-date and fully compliant at all times.

The June 1st compliance deadline for the upcoming changes to WHMIS legislation in Canada is rapidly approaching and in preparation, Hazox is releasing a brand new SDS authoring system, carefully designed with small to medium businesses in mind.

What’s changing with WHMIS 2015?

The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is Canada’s national hazard communication standard, and in 2015, the legislation was updated to be in alignment with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) Revision 5.

Here are the main changes you can expect:

  1. Products formerly known as “Controlled Products” will now be called “Hazardous Products”
  2. Hazard classes will be change and more will be added
  3. Different classification criteria
  4. Supplier labels are changing
  5. GHS pictograms will be adopted
  6. New 16-section product safety data sheets (SDSs) to replace the former MSDSs
  7. No longer required to update SDSs every three years

As of June 1st, 2018, every company operating in and shipping to Canada must be fully compliant with the new WHMIS 2015 regulations. Are you prepared?

Hazox is here to help.

The brand new Hazox authoring package provides you with all of the necessary tools to author your new safety data sheets and labels today, to keep your products moving and your revenue streams open.

The easy-to-use fillable form allows you to author any number of SDSs or labels in any situation, with little to no authoring experience. Simply answer a set of yes or no questions on our decision tree to determine a product’s required classifications, fill-in the blanks on the SDS and labels forms, and you’re ready to ship.

You’ll never have to spend time searching for information through multiple regulatory bodies again. Our SDS and label authoring package offers everything you need to become compliant in one place.

This comprehensive, all-in-one package can be purchased for a one time fee of $200 US
