    GHS adalah singkatan dari Sistem Klasifikasi dan Pelabelan Bahan Kimia yang Harmonis

    Globalisasi. GHS mendefinisikan dan mengklasifikasikan bahaya produk kimia, dan


    mengkomunikasikan informasi kesehatan dan keselamatan pada label dan lembar data
    keselamatan). Tujuannya adalah agar seperangkat aturan yang sama untuk mengklasifikasikan
    bahaya, dan format serta konten yang sama untuk label dan lembar data keselamatan (SDS)
    akan diadopsi dan digunakan di seluruh dunia. Tim internasional pakar komunikasi bahaya
    mengembangkan GHS.
    What is the purpose of GHS?
    GHS, to provide harmonized information to users of chemicals with the goal of enhancing
    protection of human health and the environment. Many countries already have regulatory
    systems in place for chemical classification and hazard communication.
    The GHS is a system for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and. labeling of
    chemicals. It is a logical and comprehensive approach to: • Defining health, physical and
    environmental hazards of chemicals; • Creating classification processes that use available data
    on chemicals for comparison.
    Why is it important to have a global system for Labelling chemicals?
    GHS also provides the basis for harmonising regulations on chemicals at national, regional and
    worldwide level. This is important for facilitating trade. At a more basic level, GHS also aims to
    provide a structure for countries that do not yet have a classification and labelling system
    Is GHS mandatory?
    The GHS is not a global law or regulation– a common misconception – it is a system. Think of it
    as a set of recommendations or collection of best practices. No country is obligated to adopt all
    or even any part of the GHS
    What does GHS pictogram mean?
    This pictogram on a chemical label means that the substance causes skin burns, eye damage,
    or destroys metals.
    What are the GHS categories?
    GHS Hazard Classification. GHS uses three hazard classes: Health Hazards, Physical Hazards
    and Environmental Hazards. These aren't required by OSHA. Health hazards present dangers
    to human health (i.e. breathing or vision) while physical hazards cause damage to the body (like
    skin corrosion)
    How many GHS symbols are there?
    There are a total of nine different pictograms, each representing a different type of hazard.
    There are 9 hazardous substances symbols you need to know: flammable/api,
    oxidizing/pengoksidasi/flame over circle, explosives/bom peledak, gas under pressure/gas
    cylinder, toxic/akut/tengokrak/tulang bersilang, serious health hazard, health hazard/tanda
    seru, corrosive/korosi/iritasi kulit and environmental hazard/bahaya bagi lingkungan. Read
    more about them and examples of each here.
