Implement parts of GHS and related SDS/precautionary phrases
The implementation of rules for labelling through adoption of the GHS classification and labelling elements is done through three activities:
- Data collection: Collection of data by industry
- Data evaluation: Comparison of data against relevant GHS criteria
- Decision making: Companies assign classification based on data evaluation. 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 GHS labelling and safety data sheets is of particular relevance to this element and further information on the GHS can be found in the Classification and Labelling System Scheme.
