This book is the fourth revised edition of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), developed through international collaboration between organizations such as the ILO, OECD, and the United Nations. Originating from a mandate at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio, the GHS aims to harmonize chemical classification and labeling globally. It outlines hazard communication elements, including safety labels and data sheets, to enhance protection of human health and the environment during handling, transport, and use of chemicals. The GHS also facilitates international trade by providing a consistent regulatory basis. Updated regularly, this edition includes new hazard categories for chemically unstable gases and aerosols, and refined guidance for precautionary measures.

The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is a collaborative effort among the International Labour Organization, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and the United Nations. Developed from a mandate established at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, the GHS aims to standardize the classification of chemical hazards and communication elements, such as labels and safety data sheets. The system seeks to enhance the protection of human health and the environment by providing consistent hazard information. Primarily targeted at governments and regional institutions, the GHS also serves as a foundation for national and international chemical regulations, facilitating safer handling, transport, and use of chemicals. This fourth revised edition includes updates on hazard categories and criteria for classification.
