There
are still companies out there who make false and high
pressure sales calls. These calls involve a sales person
telling you that you need to either upgrade or
re-take health and safety training such as WHMIS or you
will be fined.
They claim
that there have been changes in the regulations and that
your training is out of date. As a safety training
provider, we are outraged that some companies are
resorting to these unethical and deceitful sales
strategies. It gives Health and Safety Training
Providers a bad reputation.
Here at YOW
Canada, we have received many calls from confused people
who say they have received a call from a company saying
they must re-take their WHMIS training due to a change
in the regulations. These calls are misleading and
false.
No changes have been made to
the Occupational Health and Safety Act recently that
would require employers to retrain their staff for
WHMIS.
