GHS Hazard Comm Labeling & SDS - 1

System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals

(GHS)
Hazard Communication :
Labelling and SDS (1)
One of the objectives of the work

on the Globally Harmonized
System (GHS) is the development
of a harmonized communication
system, including Labelling, Safety
data sheets (SDS) and easily
understandable symbols, based on
classification criteria developed for
the GHS.

The harmonized system for hazard communication includes
the appropriate labelling tools to convey information about
each of the hazard classes and categories in the GHS.
The use of symbols, signal words or hazard statements other
than those, which have been assigned to each of the GHS
hazard classes and categories, would be contrary to
harmonization.
Labels communicate the hazard(s) according GHS
classification to target audiences

Labelling : Target audiences (1)

- Workplace
Employers and workers need to
know the hazards specific to the
chemicals used and or handled in
the workplace, as well as information
about the specific protective
measures required to avoid the
adverse effects that might be caused
by those hazards.

- Consumers
The label in most cases is likely to be
the sole source of information readily
available to the consumer.
The label, therefore, will need to be
sufficiently detailed and relevant to
the use of the product.

- Emergency responders
Emergency responders need information
on a range of levels.
To facilitate immediate responses, they
need accurate, detailed and sufficiently
clear information. This applies in the
event of an accident during transportation,
in storage facilities or at workplaces.

- Transport
The UN Recommendations on the

Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model
regulations, cater for a wide range of
target audiences although transport
workers and emergency responders are
the principal ones. Others include
employers, those who offer or accept
dangerous goods for transport or load or
unload packages of dangerous goods
into or from transport vehicles, or freight
containers. HAZARD COMMUNICATION LABELLING & SDS

Target audiences needs have been identified
Workplace - Employers and workers need to know the hazards specific to the
chemicals used and or handled in the workplace, as well as information about
the specific protective measures required to avoid the adverse effects that
might be caused by those hazards.
Consumers - The label in most cases is likely to be the sole source of

information readily available to the consumer. The label, therefore, will need to
be sufficiently detailed and relevant to the use of the product.
Emergency responders - labels, placards : Emergency responders need

information on a range of levels. To facilitate immediate responses, they need
accurate, detailed and sufficiently clear information. This applies in the event
of an accident during transportation, in storage facilities or at workplaces.
Transport - labels, placards, transport documents : The UN

Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations,
cater for a wide range of target audiences although transport workers and
emergency responders are the principal ones. Others include employers,
those who offer or accept dangerous goods for transport or load or unload
packages of dangerous goods into or from transport vehicles, or freight
containers.

Precedence for the allocation of symbols

(1)
For substances and mixtures covered
by the UN Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods, Model
Regulations, the precedence of
symbols for physical hazards should
follow the rules of the UN Model
Regulations.
28

(2)
For health hazards the following principles of
precedence apply:
(a) if the Skull and crossbones applies,
the Exclamation mark should not appear;
(b) if the Corrosive symbol applies,
the Exclamation mark should not appear
where it is used for skin or eye irritation;
(c) if the Health hazard symbol appears for
respiratory sensitisation, the Exclamation
mark should not appear where it is used
for skin sensitisation or for skin or eye
irritation. HAZARD COMMUNICATION LABELLING & SDS

Role of the SDS in the GHS

SDS should provide comprehensive
information about a chemical substance or
mixture for use in workplace.
Both employers and workers use it as a
source of information about hazards,
including environmental hazards, and to
obtain advice on safety precautions.
39
SDS Target Audiences

SDS provides an important source of
information for target audiences :
-
Workplace (employer and worker)

Consumers
Emergency responders (including Poison Centres)
Transporters TREM card
Those involved in the professional use of Pesticides
40
TREM Card
41
Criteria for determining whether a

SDS should be produced
SDS should be produced for all substances
and mixtures which meet the harmonized
criteria for physical, health or environmental
hazards under the GHS and for all mixtures
which contain substances that meet the
criteria for carcinogenic, toxic to reproduction
or specific target organ systemic toxicity in
concentrations exceeding the cut-off limits for
SDS specified by the criteria for mixtures.
42
When is a SDS required?

SDS should be produced for all
substances and mixtures which meet
the harmonized criteria under the GHS
and for all mixtures which contain
substances that meet the GHS criteria
exceeding the cut-off limits for each
hazard class.
General guidance for compiling a SDS

1.5.3.1 Cut-off values / concentration limits
SDS should be provided based on the generic
cut-off values / concentration limits indicated
in Table 1.5.1 :

environmental hazard class

In addition to the minimum information

has additional relevant and available information
about its nature and/or use, that information
should be included in the SDS (see A4.3.16 for
further advice on additional information
requirements).
