Globally Harmonized System Training
1. The Globally Harmonized System (GHS)
for Hazard Classification and Labeling
Training Program
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
2. What is GHS?
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
GHS is an acronym for Globally Harmonized
System of Classification and Labeling of
Chemicals
A common and coherent approach to defining
and classifying hazards, and communicating
information on labels and safety data sheets
Target audiences include workers, consumers,
transport workers, and emergency responders
Provides the underlying infrastructure for
establishment of national, comprehensive
chemical safety programs
3. Why is GHS needed?
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
No one country has the ability to identify and
specifically regulate every hazardous chemical
product
For example; in the United States there are an
estimated one million such products
Adoption of requirements for information to
accompany the product helps address
protection needs
4. Goals of GHS
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
Enhance the protection of human health and
the environment by providing an internationally
comprehensible system
Provide a recognized framework to develop
regulations for those countries without existing
systems
Facilitate international trade in chemicals whose
hazards have been identified on an
international basis
Reduce the need for testing and evaluation
against multiple classification systems

dilute solutions, and mixtures
Pharmaceuticals, food additives, cosmetics and
pesticide residues in food will not be covered at
the point of intentional intake, but will be
covered where workers may be exposed, and in
transport
9. Scope of GHS
Transport
For transport, it is expected application of GHS
will be similar to application of current transport
requirements;
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
GHS physical, acute and environmental hazard
criteria are expected to be adopted
Containers of dangerous goods will have pictograms
addressing acute toxicity, physical hazards, and
environmental hazards
GHS hazard communication elements such as;
signal words, hazard statements and SDS are not
expected to be adopted in the transport sector
Page 9
10. Scope of GHS
Workplace
In the workplace, it is expected most of the
GHS elements will be adopted;
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
GHS physical and health hazard criteria
Labels having harmonized core information under
GHS (signal words, hazard statements and symbols,
etc.)
Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
Employee training to ensure effective communication
Page 10
11. Scope of GHS
Consumer
For the consumer sector, it is expected labels
will be the primary focus of GHS application;
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
Appropriate GHS hazard criteria are expected to be
adopted
Labels will include the core elements of GHS (signal
words, hazard statements and symbols, etc.),
subject to some sector-specific considerations in
certain systems (i.e. risk-based labeling)
Page 11
12. Scope of GHS
Pesticides
For pesticides, it is expected that GHS will be
adopted
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
Appropriate GHS hazard criteria are expected to be
adopted
Pesticide labels will include the core elements of
GHS (signal words, hazard statements and symbols,
etc.), subject to some sector-specific considerations
in certain systems
Page 12
14. What is Hazard Classification?
The term “hazard classification” is used to indicate
only the intrinsic hazardous properties of
substances and mixtures are considered and
involves the following three steps:
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
Identification of relevant data regarding the hazards
of a substance or mixture
Subsequent review of data to ascertain the hazards
associated with the substance or mixture
A decision on whether the substance or mixture will
be classified as a hazardous substance or mixture
and the degree of hazard, where appropriate, by
comparison of the data with agreed hazard
classification criteria
Page 14
15. Physical Hazards
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
Based primarily on existing UN Model
Regulation on the Transportation of Dangerous
Goods
Classification process provides references to
specific test methods and criteria for
classification
All mixtures should be tested for physical
hazards
Recommends person responsible for GHS
implementation consult the GHS Document for
complete information
Page 15
16. Physical Hazards
Definitions
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
Gas: A substance or mixture which at 50°C
has a vapor pressure greater than 300 kPa; or
is completely gaseous at 20°C and a standard
pressure of 101.3 kPa
Liquid: A substance or mixture that is not a gas
and which has a melting point or initial melting
point of 20°C or less at standard pressure of
101.3 kPa
Solid: A substance or mixture not meeting the
definitions of a liquid or a gas
18. Health & Environmental Hazards
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
GHS health and environmental hazard criteria
represent a harmonized approach for existing
classification systems
Recommends person responsible for GHS
implementation consult the GHS Document for
complete information
Page 18
21. Mixtures
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
Physical hazard criteria apply to mixtures
GHS health and environmental hazard criteria
represent a harmonized approach for existing
classification systems
Page 21
22. Mixtures
Definitions
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
Substance: Chemical elements and their compounds in
the natural state or obtained by any production process,
including any additive necessary to preserve the
stability of the product and any impurities deriving from
the process used, but excluding any solvent which may
be separated without affecting the stability of the
substance or changing its composition
Mixture: Mixtures or solutions composed of two or
more substances in which they do not react
Alloy: An alloy is a metallic material, homogeneous on
a macroscopic scale, consisting of two or more
elements so combined they cannot be readily
separated by mechanical means
Page 22
23. Hazard Communication
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
Once a chemical has been classified, the
hazard(s) must be communicated to target
audiences
As in existing systems, labels and Safety Data
Sheets (SDS) are the main tools for chemical
hazard communication
Page 23
24. Label and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
Guiding Principles
Information should be conveyed in more than
one way
Comprehensibility of the components of the
system should take into account existing
studies and evidence gained from testing
Phrases used to indicate the degree (severity)
of hazard should be consistent across different
hazard types
Format and Color of the label elements, and
SDS format should be standardized
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
25. Labels
The Working Group identified approximately 35
different types of information currently required
on labels by different systems
To harmonize, key information elements need
to be identified
Additional harmonization may occur on other
elements in time, in particular, for precautionary
statements
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
26. Labels
Required Elements
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
Symbols & Pictograms

information, assigned to a GHS hazard class and
category
Pictograms include harmonized hazard symbols plus
other graphic elements, such as borders, background
patterns or colors, which are intended to convey specific
information
A black frame may be used for shipments within one
country
Where a transport pictogram appears, the GHS
pictogram for the same hazard should not appear
Page 27
36. Labels
Signal Words
The signal word indicates the relative degree of
severity of a hazard. The signal words used in
GHS are:
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
"Danger" for the more severe hazards
"Warning" for the less severe hazards
Signal words are standardized and assigned to
hazard categories within endpoints
Some lower level hazard categories do not use
signal words
Page 36
37. Labels
Hazard Statements
Hazard statements are standardized and
assigned phrases describing the hazard(s) as
determined by hazard classification
An appropriate statement for each GHS hazard
should be included on the label for products
possessing more than one hazard
Examples:
2011 RiskAnalytics, LLC
“Highly flammable liquid and vapor”
“Toxic in contact with skin”
“Harmful to aquatic life”
Page 37
38. Labels
Precautionary Statements
