Which of the following is not a component of WHMIS?

The reason "Employee Benefits" is not a component of WHMIS (Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System) is that WHMIS is fundamentally focused on the communication and management of hazardous materials in the workplace. The main components of WHMIS include labels, which provide essential information about hazardous materials and their safe handling; Safety Data Sheets (SDS), which offer detailed safety and health information about specific substances; and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), which refers to gear that protects workers from exposure to hazards.

Employee benefits, while important for workplace welfare and morale, do not pertain to the core elements of hazardous materials management outlined in WHMIS. This system is specifically designed to ensure that workers and employers understand the risks associated with hazardous materials and are equipped to handle them safely, rather than addressing employee compensation or benefits.
