4. The Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) is Canada's national hazard communication standard. 3 2 2 2 3 2

5. CLASS A: COMPRESSED GAS
This class includes compressed gases, dissolved gases, and gases liquefied by compression or refrigeration.

6. CLASS B: FLAMMABLE AND COMBUSTIBLE MATERIAL
This class are material capable of catching fire in the presence of a spark or open flame under normal working conditions.

7. CLASS C: OXIDIZING MATERIALS
This class are material capable of promoting or contributing to the development and spread of fire my releasing oxygen in normal under normal working conditions.

8. CLASS D: POISONOUS AND INFECTIOUS MATERIAL Division 1: Materials Causing Immediate and Serious Toxic Effects
These materials can cause death or immediate injury when a person is exposed to small amounts. Examples: sodium cyanide, hydrogen sulphide

9. CLASS D: POISONOUS AND INFECTIOUS MATERIAL Division 2: Materials Causing Other Toxic EFFECTS
These materials can cause life-threatening and serious long-term health problems as well as less severe but immediate reactions in a person who is repeatedly exposed to small amounts.

10. CLASS D: POISONOUS AND INFECTIOUS MATERIAL Division 3: Biohazardous Infectious MATERIAL
These materials contain harmful micro-organisms that have been classified into Risk Groups 2, 3, and 4 as determined by the World Health Organization (WHO) or the Medical Research Council of Canada.

11. CLASS E: CORROSIVE MATERIAL
This class includes caustic and acid materials that can destroy the skin or eat through metals. Examples: sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid

12. CLASS F: DANGEROUSLY REACTIVE MATERIAL
These products may self-react dangerously (for example, they may explode) upon standing or when exposed to physical shock or to increased pressure or temperature, or they emit toxic gases when exposed to water.

13. Supplier labels are used by the people who make each chemical.
Supplier labels have a strict format.
Hashed marked identifier label
Written in English and French
Supplier Name

14. Each chemical found in your home has a special purpose
Each chemical found in your home has a special purpose. The properties of the chemical determine what it will react with. In general we do not want products in our homes to react with each other.

15. On the other hand there are products that we do want to react with other materials. These are normally cleaners that contain materials such as bleach and ammonia, which are very reactive chemicals

16. The HHPS has four categories of Hazardous Chemicals
The symbols are similar to that of WHMIS with the exception of the Explosive symbol.

17. The HHPS has three levels of severity
Caution is the least sever of the three symbols, warning is more severe and danger is the most severe.
