Harmonization Of Hazard Classification and Labeling

What is Harmonization Of Hazard Classification and Labeling?

The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for the classification and labeling of hazardous chemicals is an international effort to have a common and consistent method of labeling hazardous materials. The objective is to have a classification system that allows information such as MSDS created in one location to be clearly understood in another part of the world. GHS is working toward developing consistency throughout the world and thus improve safety.

OSHA has an FAQ page about the Harmonization Of Hazard Classification and Labeling that is a good place to go for more information.
