Communication and outreach

Establish training and capacity building requirements for the user of the GHS hazard information and for GHS target audiences. Available resources will impact the sector or national strategy for education or training for those required to interpret GHS label information and/or SDS information and to take appropriate action in response to the identified chemical hazards.

Governments may want to send out fliers or letters to businesses and industry to inform them of potential upcoming changes to regulations or chemicals management standards. Labour unions and public interest groups may be involved in setting up workplace posters or distributing brochures to audiences informing them of GHS symbols and other hazard communication elements.

The importance of communicating adequate understandable information at an appropriate level of detail to the target audience is covered in the Awareness raising element of the Industrial Chemicals Management Scheme (follow the link on the left-hand side of the page; to return to this page use the navigation bar at the top of the page).
