Aquatic WHMIS

Maintaining the pool’s water quality requires the use of a wide variety of chemicals that often pose underestimated risks.

This course, developed in collaboration with the Association paritaire pour la santé et la sécurité du travail, secteur « affaires municipales » (APSAM), is nothing less than an essential tool for anyone handling or likely to handle hazardous products at work. It allows you to:

• Understand the safety data sheet and regulations on hazardous products’ labels (product category, symbols, WHMIS label, supplier’s label and workplace label);
• Know where and how each product should be appropriately and safely stored;
• Provide appropriate first aid in case of contact with a hazardous product;
• Prevent incidents, gas and toxic vapour emanation, etc.;
• Recognize incompatible products.
