The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) is an international framework designed to standardize the classification and labeling of chemicals. It aims to ensure that information about chemical hazards is communicated consistently across different countries, making it easier for workers and consumers to understand the risks associated with chemical substances. GHS includes specific criteria for classifying chemicals based on their physical, health, and environmental hazards. It also provides guidelines for labeling, which includes standardized symbols and signal words, ensuring that safety information is clear and accessible to everyone, regardless of their location or language.
