For toxicologists, GHS provides a valuable framework for understanding and communicating the potential risks of chemicals. It enables them to:
- Conduct comprehensive risk assessments by providing a standardized approach to hazard classification. - Develop and evaluate safety measures for chemical handling and use. - Communicate risks effectively to stakeholders, including industry, regulatory agencies, and the public.
Additionally, GHS facilitates international trade by providing a common language for communicating chemical hazards, reducing the need for multiple classification systems across different countries.
