OSHA Standards and the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals

摘要

Readers of this column may remember that in my January 2009 column I commented on the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals.rnFor a comprehensive review of GHS, see the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe GHS website at http://www.unece. org/trans/danger/public/ghs_welco-me_e.html.rnThe intent of GHS is to have a global hazard classification and compatible labeling system, including material safety data sheets. To date, some 65 countries are in some way evaluating or adopting the proposal.
