Engaging stakeholders (Industry and public interest groups)

Through workshops, media campaigns, NGOs, and other information sessions, engage stakeholders.

Comprehensibility testing may be used to assess stakeholders' level of understanding of the GHS hazard communication elements to identify areas where capacity building interventions are needed and to raise awareness on chemical hazards and the GHS. The extent of comprehensibility testing may depend on available resources. 

Resources are an overarching issue as they are needed to ensure the functioning of all elements that are included in the framework for the management of industrial chemicals. Further information on ensuring adequate resources is given in the Ensuring adequate resources element in 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).

It is also important to consider: 

  • Awareness raising: Provide information, such as the meaning of pictograms, to stakeholders concerning the GHS and the benefits and costs of implementing the GHS.
  • Technical training: Provide education on the technical aspects of the GHS including, for example, how to classify chemicals, to those who will be impacted by the implementation of the GHS.
