6. GHS Implementationin Indonesia

Globally Harmonised System (GHS)
Globally Harmonised System of Classification andLabelling of Chemicals (GHS) is: an international system that harmonized theclassification and labelling of hazardous
chemicals
 a logical and comprehensive approach for:defining health, physical, and environmental
hazard of chemicals
applying agreed hazard criteria to classify
chemicals based on their hazardous effects
communicating hazard information on labels
and safety data sheets

GHS Application for Chemicals

GHS is applied for chemicals excluding
pharmaceutical, additives used as end
products in food, cosmetics, chemical residue,
and wasteSectors of GHS implementation
1. Workplace,particularlyindustrialworkplace
2. Agriculture (pesticide), involve both
workplace and consumer exposures
3. Transport,
including
distributionofhazardous chemicals
4. Consumer products, involve products soldto general public, and exposures ofvulnerable population

Benefits of GHS
1. Enhances the protection of human health andthe environment through the provision ofharmonized chemical safety and healthinformation
2. Reduces the need for duplicative testing ofchemicals
3. Provides the informational infrastructure forchemical safety and health management
programs4. Increases efficiencies; reduces costs ofcompliance; lower health care costs

policies .
• The growing demands of chemical substances
should be anticipated by the regulations.
• The number of ministries who involved inchemical management provide challenges incoordination.
• The capacity of human resources andinfrastructure.
