The document discusses the Global Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). It states that GHS identifies three main hazard groups: physical, health, and environmental hazards. Physical hazards can cause injury or property damage. Health hazards affect human health. Environmental hazards negatively impact aquatic environments. Each group is further divided into more specific classes and categories to better define the hazards.

1. GHS what you Really
Did not cover in Class
GHS names three main hazard groups:
physical, health, and environmental. -
Physical hazards pose a threat that could
injure people or damage property.
For example, a gas might explode, causing
physical damage. -Health hazards impact
human health by causing irritating
symptoms or even deadly diseases. -
Environmental hazards negatively impact
aquatic environments. Each general group is
divided up into more specific classes, and
each class into even more specific
categories. (Details about the classes and
categories can be found in the GHS Purple
Book.) And in Provincial Legislation.
