What is the GHS?
The GHS is an acronym for The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.
The GHS is a single internationally agreed system of
classification and labelling of chemicals, which was developed under the auspices of the United Nations.
The GHS includes harmonised criteria for:• the classification of physical hazards (such as
flammability), • health hazards (such as carcinogenicity) and • environmental hazards

WHS Legislation
In Australia, GHS is being introduced as part of the national harmonised Work Health & Safety legislation
Commenced on 1st Jan 2012 in NSW, Qld, ACT, Commonwealth, & NT jurisdictions
Will start in Tas on 1st Jan 2013
SA, Vic & WA are yet to pass the legislation

Labelling
Person who is conducting a business or undertaking
Ensure that a hazardous chemical is correctly labelled if the chemical is manufactured at the workplace; or transferred or decanted from the chemical’s original container at the workplace.
NB: Manufactured includes the activities of packing, repacking, formulating, blending, mixing, making, remaking and synthesising.
![Page 24: By Sheryl Hoffmann, Laboratory Manager Concordia College, SA shoffmann@concordia.sa.edu.au.](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649ea05503460f94ba3690/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Consumer Products
Original label on a consumer product is sufficient if it is reasonably foreseeable that the hazardous chemical will be used in the workplace only:
o in a quantity that is consistent with consumer household use, and
o in a way that is consistent with consumer household use, and
o in a way that is incidental to the nature of the work carried out by a worker using the chemical
