How do GHS labels contribute to safety in toxicology?
The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals is an internationally agreed-upon system that standardizes the classification and labelling of chemicals. GHS labels contribute to safety by providing a consistent and clear representation of hazards through pictograms, signal words (âDangerâ or âWarningâ), and hazard statements. This uniformity in labels across different regions enhances understanding and reduces the risk of mishandling chemicals.
