Introduction
• Everyone knows the importance of reading the labels on the chemical products we use on the job.
• Knowing what we’re working with keeps us safe.
• Chemical labeling is changing to help make it easier for us to understand the products we use so we can continue to be safe.

Globally Harmonized System
Labels are changing to conform with the Globally Harmonized System or GHS.
Worldwide effort by the United Nations to have common ways to describe chemicals and how to use them safely.
Very similar to what is already on today’s labels.

LABELS MUST HAVE:
1. Product Identifier – what is this chemical
2. Signal words – to tell us about the danger level
3. Hazard Statement – what kind of harm could the chemical cause
4. Pictograms – a symbol that tells us about the hazards
5. Precautionary Statement – what do we need to do to be safe around this chemical.
