Supplier Labels and The Material Safety Data Sheets
![Picture](/uploads/1/9/0/8/19085439/3809836.gif?300)
All suppliers incorporate labels on their products which outline the hazardous facts about the material through the WHMIS classifications and symbols.
1. Labels – All hazardous products must carry labels that clearly identify the product and provide hazard information about it. The label must also indicate whether a workplace MSDS (see below) is available in the workplace.
2. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) – An MSDS must be provided for every controlled product in your workplace. The MSDS provides much more detailed information than a label.
3. Worker Education and Training – Every employer is expected to develop and implement an up-to-date education program to allow workers to understand and use the information that is provided on the labels and MSDS. This program should be reviewed once a year, and whenever there is a change in conditions or new hazard information concerning any hazardous substances in the workplace. Employers must keep written records of employee education and training.
