GHS, or Global Harmonized Systems, is a regulatory mandate for any chemical labels that are shipped out of the country. These regulations are already accepted as law in many countries including the United States and Canada. GHS pictogram labels are used to depict the recommended measures that should be taken to minimize or prevent adverse effects caused by exposure to hazardous products.
As a component of a company’s hazard communication program, the ability to communicate possible workplace dangers efficiently and effectively is extremely important. Depending on the country in which your company operates and the markets you serve, there are varying regulations to comply with. The foundation of the safety program is having a compliant Safety Data Sheet. Labels are then used to communicate the hazards to employees who work with these products.
Labels contain important information to communicate the hazards to the employee. Depending on the country the label is designed for, GHS labels should contain hazard statements, hazard pictograms, precautionary statements, and other elements designed to identify the hazards of the product.
GHS compliant labels can be produced using the ArrowJet Nova 250R along with compatible label stocks on either pre-cut labels or as a continuous roll to be cut out after printing. These labels will be both GHS as well as BS-5609 compliant with the proper label stocks. Our experts can help you get started printing these labels in-house to comply with the regulations for your country.
