Safety safety first?

Since the GHS addresses several sectors (transport, consumers occupational health and safety, environment), its effective implementation requires significant efforts from Member States for amending many existing legal texts concerning chemical safety in each sector, or enacting new legislation.

Time will also be needed for classifying chemical products according to the new criteria, issuing new material safety data sheets, training workers and raising consumers' awareness.
