What is GHS?
The GHS is a system to standardize the way hazardous materials are classified.
Why is Global Harmonization Necessary?
Currently, many different countries have different systems for classification and labeling of chemical products. In addition, several different systems can exist even within the same country. This situation has been expensive for governments to regulate and enforce, costly for companies who have to comply with many different systems, and confusing for workers who need to understand the hazards of a chemical in order to work safely.
What is the Scope of GHS?
The GHS system covers all hazardous chemicals and may be adopted to cover chemicals in the workplace, transport, consumer products, pesticides and pharmaceuticals. The target audiences for GHS include workers, transport workers, emergency responders and consumers.
The two major elements of GHS are:
1. Classification of the hazards of chemicals according to the GHS rules.
2. Communication of the hazards and precautionary information using safety data sheets and labels.
GHS promises to deliver several distinct benefits. Among them are:• promoting regulatory efficiency• facilitating trade• easing compliance• reducing costs• providing improved, consistent hazard information• encouraging the safe transport, handling and use of
chemicals• promoting better emergency response to chemical
incidents, and...• reducing the need for animal testing
