Final Evaluation
WHMIS 2015 (GHS)

New Addition to the Label under WHMIS 2015 GHS is the use of Hazard Statements of Signal Words.

Recognizing Hazard Statements and Signal Words on the Supplier Label

  • There are two signal words: Danger (higher-level hazards) and Warning (moderate-level hazards)

Sometimes no signal word is used for low-level hazards

Hazard statements describe the nature and degree of the hazard:

Example: Extremely flammable aerosol. They may use the word “DANGER” on the Label

Example: May be corrosive to metals. They may use the word “WARNING” on the label.

The pictogram(s), signal word and hazard statement(s) must be grouped together on a supplier label.
