GHS

The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is an international standard aimed at improving the safety of chemicals. It provides a consistent way to classify chemical hazards and communicate safety information through labels and safety data sheets. The GHS uses specific symbols, such as pictograms, to indicate hazards and includes precautionary statements to guide safe handling. By standardizing the way chemicals are labeled and classified, GHS helps protect workers, consumers, and the environment from chemical-related risks, fostering a safer global trade in chemicals.
