Which of the following is NOT one of the groups responsible for WHMIS?

• A. Supplier
• B. Employer
• C. Employee
• D. Contractor

Answer: (D)

WHMIS assigns responsibility to three groups: suppliers, employers, and workers. A contractor isn’t one of the defined WHMIS groups, even though they must follow the employer’s WHMIS program when handling controlled products. Suppliers are responsible for classifying, labeling, and providing safety data sheets; employers must implement and maintain the WHMIS program and provide training; workers must use the information and participate in safety practices. Because a contractor isn’t a designated WHMIS group, it’s the correct choice.
