IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING WHMIS AND OFFENSE DECLARATIONS

WHMIS AND OFFENSE DECLARATIONS--SECONDARY TEACHERS

The HWDSB has compiled a list of those teachers who have not completed their WHMIS training or Offense Declaration for the upcoming school year. Correspondence has been sent to these individuals. The list, however, erroneously includes teachers who were on leave last year (sick leave, general leave, maternity leave, etc.) Teachers who were on leave are able to complete their WHMIS training and OD upon their return to school September 1st. If you were on leave last year, and have received a communication from the Board, please contact Brenda Maxwell at 905-527-5092 ext. 2224 in Human Resources.

The Board has directed all other teachers who need to complete their WHMIS training and/or Offence Declaration to contact the Human Resources Department before August 31. Should you encounter any issues with this process, please contact us at the District 21 Office.
