Singapore GHS Task Force 5 Driving the GHS - Adoption of GHS by the UN, - Strategize & plan for GHS implementation, - Alignment of legislations to GHS, and - Monitor progress. - Singapore Competent Authorities (CAs), - Industries bodies, associations & academic societies, and - Co-chaired by Ministry of Manpower & Industry.

6 Driving the GHS Singapore GHS Task Force Singapore Standards Committee Legislations on Labels, SDSs & Hazard Communication Guidelines & Instruction on GHS Industry/Trade Associations Singapore Competent Authorities GHS Setup in GHS USERS UN / ILO Academia /Experts Manufacturers / Suppliers Importers / Exporters Workplaces Transporters ER Personnel Capacity Building Engage Stakeholders GHS Awareness GHS Training Working Group GHS Classification GHS Labels GHS SDSs Technical Documents (continued)

Singapore Standards 586: Specification for hazard communication for hazardous chemicals and dangerous goods 7 Driving the GHS Part 1: Transport and storage of dangerous goods. Part 2: Globally harmonised system of classification and labelling of chemicals - Singapore's adaptations. Part 3: Preparation of safety data sheets (SDS) Composition. (continued)

9 Industry Perception Understand GHS Obligations by Businesses, & Knowledge & Awareness On GHS Strong- Multi-National Companies, - Refining, Petrochemical, Pharmaceutical, Large Chemical & Process Companies. Need - Reaching Out to Small & Medium Companies to be Pro-active.

10 Industry Perception Knowledge & Awareness On GHS Within Government Need- General lacking & need further enhance, - Especially for policy makers. (continued) Prepared Training Resources Well coordinated on-going training: > GHS Awareness Briefing, > GHS Users Training, and > GHS Classification Training. Can do more to help small & medium companies to meet GHS implementation roadmap.

11 Industry Perception (continued) Expertise for Classification, SDSs & Labels A lack of expertise & competent persons – both in Industries & Government sectors. Resources in Implementing GHS Rely heavily on external classification information. Shortage – Academic research in GHS work. Limited resources – especially from small & medium companies.

12 Industry Perception Cost Impact to Business Less significant. (continued) Moving Product Labelling to Workplace Labelling Need clearer guidance – sorting out old & new labelling requirement. Constraint of resource > Cost to business. New challenges.
