9. Why is GHS Needed?
No country has the ability
to identify and specifically
regulate every hazardous
chemical product
Adoption of requirements
for information to
accompany the product
helps address protection
needs

10. Why is GHS Needed?
Countries with systems
that address these
needs have adopted
different requirements
for hazard definitions.
Impacts protection and
trade,

11. Why does OSHA want this?
OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard
(HCS) has performance-oriented requirements
for labels and safety data sheets.
Change addresses domestic concern.
Users would prefer standard.

14. Benefits
Increase quality and consistence
Estimated to prevent 43 fatalities and 521
injuries and illness per year
Estimated annualized cost reductions and
productivity gains are $507 million annually

Category 1 shall
include liquids
having
flashpoints
below 73.4F and

below 95F.
Category 2 shall
include liquids
having
flashpoints
below 73.4F and
a boiling point
above 95F
Category 3 shall
include liquids
having
flashpoints at or
above 73.4 F
and at or below

34. Safety Data Sheets
The safety data sheet should
provide comprehensive
information about the chemical
that allows employers and
workers to obtain concise,
relevant and accurate
information that can be put in
perspective with regard to the
hazards, uses and risk
management of the chemical
product in the workplace. Must
contain 16 sections.

Precautionary Statements:
recommended measures that
should be taken to protect
against hazardous
exposures, or improper
storage or handling of a
chemical
