A model partnership of key stakeholders across all jurisdictions
HMIRC deals with many WHMIS stakeholders:
- labour organizations and workers;
- suppliers in the chemical industry;
- employers with workplace WHMIS programs; and
- federal, provincial and territorial government agencies with WHMIS responsibilities.
As an independent agency, the Commission is a model of industry, labour and government consultation, consensus and cooperation. Its adjudicative efforts must result in a fair balance between the right of workers to know and the right of suppliers and employers to safeguard confidential business information. The Commission makes a tangible contribution to worker health and safety and is a strategic partner to both the industry and employers. Through its work, the Commission supports the Government of Canada's priority of "healthy Canadians" by ensuring that workers in Canada have complete and accurate information to take the appropriate actions to minimize the health risks they encounter in their workplace. HMIRC's work also supports the federal, provincial and territorial governments in delivering their occupational safety and health regulatory activities, making the Commission one of very few adjudicative bodies in Canada that represent multiple levels of government.
Governance structure
The Commission's governance structure is a model of collaboration. The Council of Governors provides strategic advice and guidance to the Commission and makes recommendations to the Minister of Health. It consists of up to 18 members representing key stakeholders across all jurisdictions:
- 2 representing workers,
- 1 representing suppliers,
- 1 representing employers,
- 1 representing the federal government, and
- between 4 and 13 representing the provincial and territorial governments responsible for occupational health and safety.
The Commission's President and Chief Executive Officer is appointed by the Governor in Council and has the authority to supervise and direct the organization's day-to-day activities.
The Vice-President of Operations directs the work of the MSDS Compliance and Screening divisions.
The Vice-President of Corporate Services and Adjudication directs the work of the Corporate Services, Regulatory Affairs and Appeals, and Communications divisions.
