The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS)
by Skillsoft
The GHS, an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals, is a system aiming to standardize and harmonize the classification and labeling of chemicals. Although many countries follow regulatory systems for the safe handing and transport of chemicals through labels and safety data sheets, there is no standard approach. So while the formats are similar in different countries, the differences are significant enough to warrant different labeling and safety data sheets for the same product in different markets. With the gradual implementation of the GHS worldwide, countries have consistent and appropriate information on the chemicals they import or produce, and the infrastructure to control chemical exposures and protect people and the environment can be established in a comprehensive manner. This course introduces the GHS and explains how hazards are classified and communicated through the use of labels and safety data sheets.Audience: All employeesObjectives: The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) identify the goals of the GHS describe how the GHS will be implemented categorize physical, health, and environmental hazards interpret hazard information in a GHS label identify the standard label elements describe how transport labels differ from standard GHS labels describe key concepts related to safety data sheets Duration: 0.5 ...
