Claims Exemption Process contributes to the achievement of the Government of Canada’s "Healthy Canadians" outcome.
Canada places the health of its population high on the list of key priorities for Canadians. Canada’s public health system exists to safeguard and improve the health of Canadians. The responsibility for public health is spread across federal, provincial and territorial governments. An essential part of any occupational health and safety program is ensuring that those employed in workplaces requiring the use of hazardous materials have the information they need to use those materials in a safe manner to minimize any risk of injury and any threat to their health, either in the short term or in the long term. This is particularly applicable to the Commission’s mandate, which provides WHMIS trade secret exemption mechanism on behalf of the federal government and also on behalf of the provinces and territories. The Commission’s work supports improved occupational health and safety for Canadian workers, a key element to achieving a healthy Canadian population.
