GHS (Global Harmonizing System) FAQS:

What are my responsibilities as an employer to be in compliance with GHS?

*Employers are responsible for ensuring that employees know and understand that hazards associated with chemicals being used in the workplace. To accomplish this task, employers should take the following steps:

                  -Learn the Hazard Communication Standard 2012, and identify responsible staff
                  -Prepare and implement a written Hazard Communication Program
                  -Ensure all containers are properly labeled
                  -Maintain Safety Data Sheets
                  -Inform and train employees
                  -Evaluate and reassess program

Do all products need to have new GHS-compliant labels?

No. Products which are classified as hard surface disinfectants and sanitizers, hand sanitizers and antibacterial soaps, cosmetics and hand soaps, and consumer products are regulated by other agencies (such as EPA, FDA and CPSC) and are exempt from GHS labeling requirements.

What is the difference between a "new" GHS label and an "old" label?

The most noticeable are that a new label will most likely have a pictogram (or pictograms) and a signal work or either "Warning" or "Danger" to identify potential hazards. However, not all products contain materials which will trigger the need for a pictogram or signal word.

Do all "new" GHS labels have pictograms and signal words?

Not necessarily. Only products which contain materials in sufficient quantity to pose a potential hazard are required to include a pictogram or signal word.
