About the GHS
GHS is the internationally agreed Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.
GHS aims to improve the health and safety of workers, consumers and the environment by ensuring consistent hazard communication on the chemicals being used across the world. GHS will also reduce the regulatory burden on manufacturers who currently have to struggle with many different systems of classification depending on the countries they manufacture in and export to. The European Union has introduced GHS regulations, and it is likely that Australia will also do so in coming years. It was therefore seen as important that Adam Dimech's HazChem font includes these important new symbols, so that laboratories and industrial sites can shift their compliance regime to the new GHS standard.
