What is the Role of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS)?
The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is an international standard that aims to ensure consistent classification and labeling of chemicals worldwide. By providing a common framework, GHS helps improve communication about hazardous materials and their associated risks. Toxicology contributes to the GHS by providing data that informs the classification of chemicals based on their health effects.
