Common questions and answers about this topic.
GHS stands for the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals. It is an international standard managed by the United Nations to ensure chemical safety information is consistent worldwide.
You can find GHS pictograms on chemical product labels, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and shipping containers. They are usually printed as red diamonds with black symbols on a white background.
GHS pictograms are primarily for workplace safety and chemical handling, while DOT (Department of Transportation) labels are used for the transport of dangerous goods. DOT labels are often colored and include a class number at the bottom.
