Sample questions

Which signal word is used for the more severe hazards?

  1. Warning
  2. Caution
  3. Notice
  4. Danger
Show the answer

D. Danger

Danger is used for the more severe hazard categories and Warning for the less severe ones. Caution is not a WHMIS signal word at all.

Reference: Hazardous Products Regulations (SOR/2015-17), Part 3 (labelling)

A product falls into one class that calls for Danger and another class that calls for Warning. What appears on the supplier label?

  1. Danger only
  2. Warning only
  3. Both signal words
  4. Neither signal word
Show the answer

A. Danger only

Only one signal word appears on a label. When Danger is required for any of the product's classifications, Warning is not shown, because the more severe word already alerts the reader.

Reference: Hazardous Products Regulations (SOR/2015-17), Part 3 (labelling)

Which of these must appear on a WHMIS supplier label?

  1. The product's flash point
  2. The date the label was printed
  3. The product identifier
  4. The occupational exposure limit
Show the answer

C. The product identifier

A supplier label carries the product identifier, initial supplier identifier, pictograms, signal word, hazard statements and precautionary statements. Flash point and exposure limits are found on the safety data sheet, not the label.
