The three elements of WHMIS are Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), training, and labels. These elements help workers identify and understand workplace hazards, as well as how to handle hazardous materials safely. Workers have the right to know about potential hazards in order to protect themselves and others in the workplace.
