WHMIS - Workplace Hazardous Material Information System

WHMIS is a comprehensive plan for providing information on the safe use of hazardous materials used in Canadian workplaces. Information is provided by means of product labels, material safety data sheets (MSDS) and worker education programs.

EVERY manufacturing environment, in fact every workplace environment, has some level of Hazardous Materials.  This is not just for asbestos or chemical plants!
