The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and labeling of chemicals (GHS)

What is the GHS? A world-wide approach to defining and classifying hazards, and communicating information on labels and safety data sheets.

The Scope of the GHS Covers all hazardous chemical substances, dilute solutions, and mixtures. Requires chemical manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors to standardize hazardous classification criteria, labels, and safety data sheets. Hazard Communication Labels Safety Data Sheets

Key Label Elements Product identifier Supplier identifier Chemical identity Hazard pictograms Signal words Hazard statements Precautionary information

Pictogram Shape and Colour Pictograms will have a black symbol on a white background with a red diamond frame. A black frame may be used for shipments within one country.

GHS Pictograms !

Signal Words “Danger” or “Warning” Used to emphasize hazard and discriminate between levels of hazard.

Hazard Statements A single harmonized hazard statement for each level of hazard within each hazard class Example: Flammable liquids Category 1: Extremely flammable liquid and vapour Category 2: Highly flammable liquid and vapour Category 3: Flammable liquid and vapour Category 4: Combustible liquid

Precautionary Information Label should include precautionary information describing recommended measures to minimize or prevent adverse effects from chemical exposure.

Role of the Safety Data Sheet in the GHS The Safety Data Sheet should provide comprehensive information about a chemical substance or mixture. Employers and employees use the Safety Data Sheet as a source of information about hazards and to obtain advice on safety precautions.

Safety Data Sheets Transition Replace current Material Safety Data Sheets by requesting Safety Data Sheets from all suppliers

Safety Data Sheet Format: 16 headings 1. Identification 2. Hazard(s) identification 3. Composition/information on ingredients 4. First-aid measures 5. Fire-fighting measures 6. Accidental release measures 7. Handling and storage 8. Exposure control/personal protection

Safety Data Sheet Format: 16 headings (cont.) 9. Physical and chemical properties 10. Stability and reactivity 11. Toxicological information 12. Ecological information 13. Disposal considerations 14. Transport information 15. Regulatory information 16. Other information
