WHMIS and the worker. In general, a worker should: read and follow instructions on product labels and safety data sheets, follow procedures established for the workplace, including the use of personal protective equipment, participate in instruction and training, ask a supervisor if unsure about how to use or handle a particular product, and report to the employer or supervisor any contraventions of the legislation or hazards, such as the absence of a safety data sheet for a new product, or a label that can no longer be read.
