Three Components of WHMIS
1. Labels on hazardous materials or their containers
2. MSDS or material safety data sheets which are technical bulletins providing more detailed information than the label
3. Worker education, providing instruction on hazards and safe work procedures

What Do We Know?2 of 2
Combustible and Flammable Material(Class B):
Will burn and is therefore a potential fire hazardMay burn at relatively low temperatures; flammable
materials catch fire at lower temperatures than combustible materials
May burst into flame spontaneously in air, or release a flammable gas on contact with water
May cause a fire when exposed to heat, sparks, or flames, or as a result of friction
