| problems develop gradually from prolonged or repeated exposure | Chronic Health Problems |
| HEALTH HAZARDS- ROUTES OF ENTRY | Inhalation Ingestion Injection Skin Contact or Absorption |
| PHYSICAL HAZARDS | Sudden release of pressure (explosion) Flammable (catches fire easily) Reactive (unstable chemicals) |
| WHAT IS GHS? | - The Globally Harmonized System (GHS) is an international approach to chemical labels and safety data sheets (SDS). - Developed by the United Nations. |
| Every container of hazardous chemicals is labeled by the manufacturer. Labels make it easy to find at a glance the chemical's possible hazards and basic steps to take to protect yourself against those risks. | LABELING |
| Should match the product identifier on the Safety Data Sheet | Product Identifier |
| Either use "Danger" (severe) or "Warning" (less severe) | Signal Word |
| A phrase assigned to a hazard class that describes the nature of the product's hazards | Hazard Statement |
| Describes recommend measures to minimize or prevent adverse effects resulting from exposure | Precautionart Statements |
| Yhe name, address and telephone number of the manufacturer or supplier | Supplier Identification |
