5) Chemical Safety

  • Under the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (effective 01 JAN 2017), it is the responsibility of the manufacturer/importer to determine if their product is a hazardous chemical and if so, to correctly classify their product. If you are unsure about the classification of a chemical, you should contact your chemical supplier or the manufacturer/importer for more information. There are nine hazard pictograms in the GHS which represent the physical, health and environmental hazards. These are named: Explosives, Flammables, Oxidisers, Gasses under pressure, Corrosives, Acute toxicity, Environmental hazard, Harmful/irritant to ozone layer and Severe health hazards.
