GHS hazard pictograms
== GHS Hazard Pictograms ==
The GHS hazard pictograms are part of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). These pictograms are used to convey information about the hazards of chemical substances and mixtures. The GHS is an internationally agreed-upon system, created by the United Nations to ensure consistent communication of chemical hazards across different countries and industries.
Overview
The GHS hazard pictograms are standardized symbols that appear on chemical labels and safety data sheets (SDS). Each pictogram consists of a symbol on a white background framed within a red border and represents a distinct hazard. The use of these pictograms helps to ensure that workers and consumers are aware of the potential dangers associated with chemical products.
Pictograms
The GHS includes the following hazard pictograms:
- Exploding Bomb: Indicates explosive hazards.
- Flame: Represents flammable substances.
- Flame Over Circle: Denotes oxidizing hazards.
- Gas Cylinder: Indicates gases under pressure.
- Corrosion: Represents corrosive damage to metals, skin, and eyes.
- Skull and Crossbones: Indicates acute toxicity (fatal or toxic).
- Exclamation Mark: Represents less severe health hazards like skin irritation or narcotic effects.
- Health Hazard: Indicates serious health hazards such as carcinogenicity, respiratory sensitization, and reproductive toxicity.
- Environment: Represents environmental hazards, particularly aquatic toxicity.
Implementation
The GHS hazard pictograms are implemented in various regions and countries, including the European Union, United States, Canada, and many others. Each region may have specific regulations and guidelines for the use of these pictograms on chemical labels and SDS.
