IMPORTANT IARTS ENROLMENT INFORMATION:
WHMIS 1A00 is an online, non-credit Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) Health and Safety course. It will teach you basic studio safety.
This course is a co-requisite for most Integrated Arts studio courses (i.e. IARTS 1RP3, 1RR3, 1BD3, etc.). If you have successfully completed WHMIS 1A00 during your first year of studies at McMaster University, you do not need to re-take WHMIS 1A00 in subsequent years if you take any additional courses that list WHMIS 1A00 as a co-requisite.
Important Note: When enrolling in courses in MOSAIC, please ensure that you add WHMIS 1A00 to your list of courses first as it is a co-requisite for most Level I iArts courses. Otherwise, you will receive a message stating that you have failed the requisite requirements for any course with a lab component.
WHMIS 1A00 must also be completed at the beginning of the fall term. Students can enrol via Mosaic during regular course enrolment and complete the module online through Avenue to Learn. More information can also be found here.
