Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS)
The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is an international framework designed to ensure consistent classification and labeling of chemicals. It aims to enhance safety by providing clear information about the hazards associated with chemical substances, making it easier for users to understand the risks involved.
GHS includes standardized symbols, signal words, and hazard statements that communicate the dangers of chemicals effectively. By harmonizing these elements across countries, GHS facilitates international trade and improves workplace safety, benefiting industries and consumers alike.
