What is the GHS?
As a response to the multiple definitions of hazard and multiple ways of communicating these hazards, the United Nations adopted the Globally Harmonized System for Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) in 2003. OSHA’s revised Hazard Communication Standard has presented manufacturers, formulators and distributors with the challenge of revising their Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) and the product labels by June 1, 2015.
