  The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is an internationally recognized system for classifying and labeling hazardous chemicals. It is designed to provide a consistent approach to identifying and communicating the hazards of chemicals, and to ensure that the same information is available to workers, consumers, and other stakeholders around the world.
  
  How to use it:

The GHS also provides guidance on how to store and handle hazardous chemicals safely.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the GHS in SAP EHS Management, it is important to ensure that all hazardous chemicals are properly classified and labeled according to the GHS criteria. Additionally, it is important to ensure that all safety data sheets are up-to-date and accurate.
