Product Description
CCOHS worked in collaboration with the National Office of WHMIS in Health Canada to develop a series of 24 WHMIS Fact Sheets. These eye-catching, informative Fact Sheets are written in clear-language, are widely used for workplace training and are ideal for printing and posting in the workplace.
