| description | MALAYSIA PLANS TO DEVELOP GHS
Malaysia hopes to implement the chemical hazard classification and communication
system based on the Globally Harmonised System (GHS) by year-end. GSH, a system to
define and classify hazards through a uniform hazard information on labels and safety
data sheet to be used in worldwide communication, will be implemented in four sectors --
industrial workplace, agriculture, transport and consumer products. The international
structure for harmonizing classification and labeling systems for chemicals will have a
beneficial impact on chemical trade, the exchange of information related to chemicals, the
cost of risk assessment and management of chemicals and ultimately the protection of
workers, the general public and the environment. A plan to implement the GHS was
adopted at the 2002 UN World Summit on Sustainable Development, held in
Johannesburg, South Africa. Countries were encouraged to have the GHS fully operational
by 2008. Sources were quoted. |
