Understand the changes. Apply them safely. Stay compliant.
Chemicals are essential to countless industries — but they also pose serious risks if mismanaged. That’s why clear, consistent communication around chemical hazards is critical. To address this need globally, the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was developed — and implemented across Australia and other nations as part of a unified international approach to chemical safety.
This GHS training course is designed to give you a thorough understanding of the changes introduced by the GHS and how those changes impact your responsibilities in the workplace. Whether you’re handling, storing, labelling, or responding to chemical incidents, this course ensures you’re equipped with the knowledge to act safely and compliantly.
What is the GHS?
The GHS is an international standard created by the United Nations to harmonise the classification and communication of chemical hazards across the world. By introducing consistent criteria for classification, labelling, and safety data sheets, the GHS enhances protection for workers, consumers, and the environment.
In Australia, the GHS has been adopted into Work Health and Safety (WHS) regulations, and understanding it is a legal and operational necessity for anyone involved with hazardous chemicals.
Course Overview
This course has been developed for workers, supervisors, and managers across all industries where chemicals are used. It’s relevant for manufacturing, construction, warehousing, laboratories, agriculture, cleaning, and more.
Whether you're new to chemical safety or just need to update your knowledge, this course covers:
-
What the GHS is and why it was created
-
The key changes introduced by GHS (compared to previous systems)
-
How to correctly interpret GHS labels and pictograms
-
The structure and content of GHS-aligned Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
-
How the changes affect your legal and practical responsibilities
