In 2015, the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) integrated the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, otherwise known as GHS. But these changes had no effect on consumer products, only industrial products. When comparing both regulations, CCCR and WHMIS, there are several differences. CCCR is designed to help protect the Canadian public against household products such as cleaning products, adhesives, and lubricants for specific hazards such as acute toxicity, corrosivity, flammability, pressurized containers, and quick skin bonding adhesives. WHMIS also has most of these classifications but more. WHMIS focuses more on workplace hazards and includes classifications such as reproductive toxicity, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, respiratory and skin sensitizers, and specific target organ toxicity (basically chemicals that might target parts of the body such as liver, blood, etc.), as well as the classifications mentioned in CCCR.<\/p>\n<p>Canada has proposed to align the CCCR to that of WHMIS, but not have decided on how to go about making these changes. One idea was to create a brand-new set of regulations, the other idea was to amend the existing regulations. This would incorporate the other health hazards that are not normally part of the CCCR. By incorporating these hazards other regulations dealing with areas such as child-resistant packaging, prohibitions, and restrictions could be expanded to include these other hazard classifications. This would allow the Canadian public to be aware of additional health hazards of the products they are purchasing.<\/p>\n<p>But it\u2019s not just the additional classifications that Health Canada wants to incorporate. They also want to change the information that appears on the label. This would mean swapping out the current labelling information to match that of what is displayed on a WHMIS label. This would include hazard and precautionary statements as well as signal words and introducing new pictograms. Health Canada has asked for input on the matter which is directed in the form of an email. Participation in this discussion is available from July 11, 2023, until October 9, 2023.

Currently, only their workplace hazards (OSHA\u2019s Hazard Communication Standard 2012) are aligned with GHS. The United States uses a specific framework of guidelines designed under the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).<\/p>\n<p>ICC Compliance has the ability to produce and classify Canada and United States Consumer labels and address any packaging needs you may have.
