GHS (Globally Harmonized System)

The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) is an international system for classifying and labeling chemicals to ensure safety. It provides standardized criteria for identifying hazards, such as flammability or toxicity, and requires consistent labeling and safety data sheets. This helps manufacturers, workers, and emergency responders understand the risks of chemicals, regardless of where they are produced or used. By harmonizing these standards globally, GHS aims to improve safety in handling chemicals, reduce accidents, and facilitate international trade.
