GHS Symbols

GHS symbols are standardized icons used worldwide to quickly communicate the hazards of chemicals. They alert users to dangers such as flammability, toxicity, corrosiveness, or health risks. For example, a flame symbol indicates flammable substances, a skull and crossbones warn of poisons, and a test tube spilling liquid shows corrosive materials. These symbols help ensure safe handling, storage, and transport by providing clear visual cues, reducing accidents and health hazards. They are part of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), promoting consistency and understanding across industries and countries.
