Implement GHS: labelling, packaging and SDS elements
The implementation of the distribution scheme element is done following three steps:
- Data collection: Collection of data by industry.
- Data evaluation: Comparison of data against relevant GHS criteria.
- Decision making: Appropriate labelling, packaging and safety data sheets for the product.
As you have decided that your country has medium resources to implement an occupational safety and health management scheme, the option proposed is to implement the GHS acute toxicity, local effects, respiratory sensitisation and STOT classifications plus the relevant labels.
For further information on the collection of data from industry, please see the Information/data element of the Industrial Chemicals Management Scheme. Information on risk management through GHS labelling and safety data sheets is of particular relevance to this element. Data collected for the Storage and transport element of this scheme may also be of use here. There may be advantages in only obtaining the information once, if feasible.
