Site-specific training covers things like how to work safely with the controlled products used in YOUR workplace, where you keep the personal protective equipment and MSDSs and training for specific work procedures.
The onus is on the employer to ensure that his or her staff is properly trained for the job. Because you can never be too sure of previous training, it's recommended that new employees take a WHMIS course, including site-specific training. The responsibility to ensure that all workers are properly trained for the workplace, and the manner in which training is conducted, rests with the employer. Can I take this course as an individual?

In some situations, yes. Note that education and training requirements fall under the WHMIS-related occupational health and safety regulations for the provinces, territories and federally regulated workplaces. Consult your local jurisdiction for information on specific requirements and transition timelines. All Canadian jurisdictions currently require that employers develop, implement, and maintain a worker WHMIS education and training program. This education and training is required for hazardous products workers work with, or for products that workers may be exposed to at work.
The employer has the general responsibility to provide all of the hazard information possible either from the supplier, or based on information the employer is, or ought, to be aware of.
Employers are also expected to consult with the health and safety committee or representative when developing, implementing or reviewing the education and training programs.
In addition, the employer should review their overall WHMIS education and training program, at least annually or more often if there is a change in work conditions, hazard information or similar.
This review should be done in consultation with the health and safety committee or representative. Confirm these details with your local jurisdiction. It is possible that some provinces or territories may add a requirement which includes that employers must periodically evaluate workers knowledge using written tests, practical demonstrations or other means. Again, confirm these details with your local jurisdiction. Workers must participate in the education and training sessions, and follow the safe work procedures established by their employer.
It is up to the employer to decide. However, each workplace is different, and your potential exposure to hazardous products will vary. Employers must make sure that workers receive training that is specific to that workplace, and to the work you will be performing. The legislation places the obligation for education and training with the employer, and it outlines the minimum requirements for education and training.
This education and training may be provided by the employer, or by a qualified person or agency that the employer has chosen. Regardless of who delivers the education and training, employers remain legally responsible to ensure the protection of workers. The Ministry of the Solicitor General agrees, saying that even though security guards may not work directly with hazardous materials, they should be familiar with the WHMIS symbols and how to respond to hazardous situations.
The basic security guard training course familiarizes students with WHMIS but we suggest certification.
With Covid, many workplaces that hire security guards are using stronger cleaning chemicals to sanitize the environment. If you already have your WHMIS certificate it will make you that much more attractive to an employer. WHMIS certificates do expire at some point. This award-winning industry recognized WHMIS online training course by Danatec is ideal for initial training or re-certification training.
