GHS labeling

GHS labeling refers to the Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, designed to ensure consistent communication about chemical hazards worldwide. Labels include specific symbols, signal words (like "Danger" or "Warning"), hazard statements, and precautionary advice to inform users of risks related to health, environment, or safety. This system helps people understand how to handle chemicals safely, whether in laboratories, workplaces, or warehouses, by providing clear, standardized information. GHS labels promote safer handling, reduce misunderstandings, and support compliance with international safety regulations.
