Employers must complete transition from original WHMIS to Globally-harmonized (GHS) WHMIS by December 1, 2018. To achieve this, they are required to ensure hazardous products in the workplace meet new product labeling requirements and that new safety data sheets (replacing MSDSs) are readily available to workers and members of joint health and safety committees or worker representatives.
