WHMIS certificates do not expire, however it is recommended to take a refresher every year. The employer will decide how often the training should be updated. Some reasons for retraining are: new hazardous products introduced into the workspace, new job tasks or processes, workplace incidents or near-misses, or changes in WHMIS legislation.

Employees who transfer to another workplace will need to consult their employer about retraining.
