Which of the following is not a WHMIS element?

WHMIS communicates hazards through three main elements: product labels (and workplace labels) that quickly show what you’re dealing with, Safety Data Sheets that provide detailed hazard information and safe handling, and education/training so workers know how to use the information and protect themselves. PPE inventory is not part of these information and training requirements; it’s a safety practice that supports safe work but isn’t a WHMIS element itself. So the item that isn’t a WHMIS element is the PPE inventory. The other options—education, SDS, and labeling—are all core WHMIS components.
