Changes to Pictograms

Health Canada is in the process of aligning WHMIS with the United Nation's Globally Harmonized system (GHS). When the process is complete, WHMIS hazard symbols will be substituted by GHS-styled pictograms on hazardous product labels. Hazardous product classification and categorization determines which pictograms appear on a chemical's label.
