The primary purpose of GHS in the field of Toxicology is to provide a consistent framework for the classification of chemicals based on their inherent health and environmental hazards. This includes acute toxicity, skin corrosion, carcinogenicity, and reproductive toxicity, among others. By doing so, GHS helps in the development of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and labels, which are essential tools for communicating the risks associated with chemical exposure and ensuring safe handling practices.
