The WHMIS Logo and How to Use It:

The WHMIS logo was developed to be a readily recognizable graphic identification of this pan Canadian system. The logo is intended to be used widely and as fully as possible by any users or supporters of WHMIS to identify informational, promotional or educational material related to this national program.

The logo should not be depicted on WHMIS labels nor MSDSs.

As the WHMIS logo identifies informational, educational or promotional material related to the program, it is not intended to be used or to be perceived as a stamp of government approval of any WHMIS- related materials produced by individuals, groups, associations or firms. It is not acceptable to use the logo in any way which would suggest government endorsement of a product or service.
