In today’s global business environment, regulatory differences between countries can be a serious cause of extra work, delays and costs.

In recognition of this, the United Nations has put forward a model called the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) to help business cut through these problems. This revolutionary system will eventually become the standard for classification and hazard communication for:

• Workplace hazardous chemicals
• Transportation of dangerous goods
• Hazardous consumer products
• Pesticides

Already, many countries have adopted these new standards, or are making preparations to do so. As this progresses, many current standards such as OSHA's hazard communication rules and WHMIS will be eliminated. Let ICC The Compliance Center help you prepare for this worldwide transformation with our many products and services already geared towards the new system.
