The Hazardous Materials Information Review Commission

The Hazardous Materials Information Review Commission (HMIRC) is charged with providing the trade secret protection mechanism within the National Office of the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System. The Commission's dual role is to balance the right of industry to protect trade secrets and the need of workers to have accurate health and safety information about hazardous chemicals used in the workplace.

The HMIRC is an independent agency that is accountable to Parliament through the Minister of Health.
