Do Summer Students Require WHMIS Training?

 
You have summer students who are working for only 2 to 4 months.  Do they require training?  Find out here.
 


So, you're aware that your full and part-time employees require WHMIS training but what about those summer students that you hire to work for only a few months?


And the answer is ...
YES!  Under the WHMIS Regulations, ALL workers who come into contact or may come into contact with controlled products require training.  The length of time that they are employed is irrelevant.

Short and sweet.
