Question: 1 / 50

What part of the WHMIS supplier label that security guards should be looking for?

WHMIS hatched border

Product identifier: name of product

Supplier identifier: supplier name and address

All of the above

The correct answer is "All of the above". This is because the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) supplier label is mandated by law to contain specific pieces of information to ensure the safe handling of the product, of which the WHMIS hatched border, the product identifier (including the name of the product), and the supplier identifier (supplier's name and address) are all essential components. Security guards are obligated by their duty to health and safety in the workplace to be familiar with all of these components and what they signify. The WHMIS hatched border is an immediate visual identifier of a WHMIS product; the product identifier is used to reference the exact substance and its hazards, and the supplier identifier contains the data of the supplier for further inquiry or in case of an emergency. Thus, all of these parts of the WHMIS supplier label provide crucial information that security guards must be aware of in their professional responsibilities.
