a) are exempt from WHMIS regulations
b) must label the workplace container
c) do not need to follow any safety precautions
d) should dispose of the container immediately

Answer 1

If the product transferred to a workplace container is used up immediately by the individual who transferred it, that individual is exempt from WHMIS labeling requirements.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the product you transfer from a supplier container to a workplace container will be used up immediately by yourself only, you are exempt from WHMIS regulations. Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) regulations typically require that all containers used in the workplace are properly labeled to ensure safety. However, an exemption exists for when a product is transferred to a workplace container and is intended to be used immediately by the person who transferred it. In this case, labeling the workplace container is not required provided that the product is indeed used up during the immediate work shift by the individual who performed the transfer.
