WHMIS CCCR Exemption Review<\/h2>\n

Ever since the Canadian Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System<\/em> (WHMIS) has existed, there have been exclusions for certain products where WHMIS either doesn\u2019t work well, or where there is already a different hazard communication system in place. One of the most used of these is the exclusion for consumer products regulated under the \u201cConsumer Chemicals and Containers Regulations 2001<\/a> (CCCR).\u201d But maybe this exclusion is on its way out. At least, Health Canada would like to know if you think it should be.<\/p>\n

The Hazardous Products Act<\/em><\/a>, which establishes WHMIS on a federal basis, requires WHMIS labels and safety data sheets (SDSs) for hazardous products sold to workplaces. But Section 12 excludes things listed on Schedule 1<\/a> of the Act, which includes things such as wood, pesticides and \u201cconsumer products as defined in section 2 of the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act<\/a>.\u201d This is the act under which the CCCR regulates labels for consumer products.<\/p>\n

This has established two different structures for hazard communication. If you\u2019re selling your hazardous product to workplaces, you use the Hazardous Products Act and WHMIS. If you\u2019re selling it primarily on the consumer market, you use the CCCR. The CCCR has a very different labelling system than WHMIS, and also does not require the supplier to provide users with SDSs. This was originally thought to be too cumbersome for the consumer market.<\/p>\n

However, SDSs could be quite useful for consumer products that end up being used in the workplace (for example, a can of paint purchased at a local retail store.) Planning safe working conditions often requires more information than that available on a CCCR label. And the widespread use of the internet has made distributing SDSs easier than handing them out at the cashier\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n

So, Health Canada has decided to take another look at this exclusion. They published a \u201cNotice of Intent for proposal to remove the consumer product exclusion from the Hazardous Products Act<\/a>\u201d on December 15, 2022, to obtain stakeholder input. Stakeholders can include suppliers to retail outlets, outlets themselves, workers and labour organizations, and federal\/provincial\/territorial agencies involved in regulating hazardous chemicals.<\/p>\n

Health Canada advises:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTo participate in this consultation, please send us an email at: whmis-simdut@hc-sc.gc.ca<\/a> to express your interest and to request a comment package. We will email you a copy of the Notice of Intent and instructions to provide your comments.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Once they\u2019ve received stakeholder input and reviewed it, they will look at the steps they want to take. Perhaps we\u2019ll keep the exclusion as it exists now. Or maybe we\u2019ll end up with a process for making SDSs available for consumer products. Maybe someone will conceive of an entirely new solution. The most radical change would be eliminating the consumer product system and folding hazardous consumer products under WHMIS (in a similar manner to that seen int the Globally Harmonized System for Labelling and Classification<\/em>, or GHS), but that\u2019s unlikely to happen soon.<\/p>\n

Definitely, if you\u2019re involved in sale or use of consumer products in Canada, make sure your voice is heard!<\/strong><\/p>\n
