Part II. OBJECTIVES
• To help people understand the meaning of chemical
label based on GHS guidelines.
• To provide information for the protection of the
workers and the general public in the proper use of
chemicals.
• To educate people on human health and the
protection of the environment.


Part III. History of GHS


Trend of global chemical regulation
Area environment pollutants/serious chemical accidents occur frequently

→→Global environmental pollution on going

• Silicone valley (US) groundwater pollutant by trichloren 1970s
• Niagara forth love-canal (US) Soil pollution by hazardous disposal 1970s
• Flickborough (UK) cyclohexane explosion accident 1974
• Seveso ICMESA (Italia) dioxine leaking 1976
• PEMEX Mexico city explosion accident in LPG base 1984
• UCC Bhopal (India) Gas tragedy for MIC（methyl isocyanate） 1986

• Sandoz Basel (Swiss) Rhine pollution for leaking pesticide 1986
• Coco (Nigeria) Transboundary of hazardous from Italy 1988

Introduction to GHS

What is the GHS ?
A common and coherent approach
• To define and classify hazards
• To communicate information on labels and
Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

Objective of GHS
To enhance the protection of human
health and the environment.


GOAL OF GHS

• The goal of GHS is to identify the intrinsic hazards
found in chemical substances and mixtures and to
convey hazard information about these hazards.

Sheets (SDS)


What is Risk?

Risk ＝ Hazard × Exposure
Risk: Probability of Adverse Effects resulting from a given
exposure
Hazard: Intrinsic properties causing Adverse Effects

• Even if the substance has a High hazard,
Low exposure can minimize the risk
• Even if the substance has a Low hazard,
High exposure may cause high risk
It is important to assess the “risk” by substance in use

Use of GHS Labels for Workplace

Awareness of warning signs, pictograms and
work instructions in workplace
Understanding of hazards and precautionary
statements on packages
Strictly follow working procedure as well as
safety compliance
Always wear basic personal protective
equipment when working with chemicals
Regular training for safety practices and
emergency responses


Use of GHS Labels for Consumers
Read label before use
Awareness of pictograms & warning signs
Understanding of hazards and precautionary
statements
Use in appropriate way as designated
instructions in order to avoid exposure.
Wear protective clothing such as gloves,
shoes as required.

Part IV. Chemical
Classification


What is A Chemical?
Definition - a substance which is manufactured by a
chemical process.


Physical Hazard - A chemical for
which there is scientifically valid evidence
that it is a combustible liquid, a compressed
gas, explosive, flammable, an organic
peroxide, an oxidizer, pyrophoric, unstable
(reactive) or water-reactive.


Explosive chemicals – Substance or mixtures
capable by chemical reaction of producing gas at such
temperature, pressure, speed as to cause damage to
people and surroundings

Acetylene

Explosive Symbol


Flammable Gases – Gases having a
flammable range with air at 20 degree C and 101.3
kPa

Gasoline

Flammable Symbol


Flammable Aerosol

• Hair Sprays, Insect Spray, Perfume, Deodorants

Flammable Symbol


Pyrophoric Chemical – Ignite in contact
with air within 5 minutes.

• Titanium Powder

Pyrophoric Symbol


Corrosive Chemicals – Substances which
damage metals by chemical reaction.

• Sulfuric Acid

Corrosive Symbol


Oxidizing Chemical – Gases which may
generally by providing oxygen cause or contribute
to the combustion of other material more than air
does.

Oxygen
Hydrogen Peroxide
Oxidizing Symbol
Sodium Hypochloride


Self Heating Chemicals – Substance
where a self heating process may lead to
self- ignition or hot temperature

Potassium Sulfide

Self Heating Symbol


Gas under Pressure – Gas contained in a
receptacle at a pressure greater than 280 kPa at 20
degree C or as a refrigerated liquid, covers four
types of gases or mixtures

Compressed Gas - Argon, Hydrogen
Liquefied Gas - Acetylene, Ethylene
Refrigerated Liquefied Gas - Nitrogen
Dissolved Gas - Acetone

Gas Under Pressure Symbol

Substances which in contact with water
emit flammable gases

Methaloid
Calcium Phosphide

Symbol


Hazard Health Classification


Acute Toxicity - refers to the adverse effects occurring
following oral or dermal administration of single dose of
a substance or multiple doses given within 24 hours, or
an inhalation exposure of 4 hours.


Skin Corrosion - The production of irreversible damage to
the skin; namely, visible necrosis through the epidermis and
into the dermis, following the application of a test substance
for up to 4 hours.
Skin Irritation - The production of reversible damage to the
skin following the application of a test substance for up to 4
hours Serious Eye Damage/Irritation


Serious eye damage is the production of tissue damage in the eye, or
serious physical decay of vision, following application of a test
substance to the anterior surface of the eye, which is not fully
eversible within 21 days of application.

Eye irritation is the production of changes in the eye following the
application of test substance to the anterior surface of the eye, which
are fully reversible within 21 days of application.


Respiratory or Skin Sensitization - substance that will
induce hypersensitivity of the airways following inhalation
of the substance. hypersensitivity is normally seen as
asthma, but other hypersensitivity reactions such as
rhinitis , conjunctivitis and alveolitis are also considered

!

Germ Cell Mutagenicity
Carcinogenicity
Reproductive Toxicity
Special Target Organ Toxicity (STOT)
Aspiration Hazard


Environmental Hazard Classification
• Hazardous to the Aquatic Environment

Symbol for
Environmental Hazard


Hazardous Substance to Aquatic Environment

The intrinsic properties of a Substance to be
injurious to aquatic organism(s) in the aquatic
environment. Hazardous substance can cause acute or
chronic aquatic toxicity, depending on the period of
exposure and the potential or actual properties of the
substance.

Part V. GHS in Indonesia


Legislation related to or revision plans of the GHS law &
industrial standards

• Indonesian Government Regulation No. 74/2001 concerning
Management of Hazardous and Toxic Substance will be revised to
accommodate the implementation of GHS based on Purple Book.
• In the long term to provide GHS implementation in Indonesia legal
system, a new Chemical Act will be drafted by Ministry of Industry
and supported industry association (FIKI).

CLOSING
• Preparation towards GHS implementation (GHS
Building Block) in Indonesia is underway; however we
need more hard work among Government, Business
and Trade/Associations and related stakeholders.

• FIKI/Industry Associations to build a chemical
management system through dissemination,
education/training programs (for example MASPI
scientific discussion) in place on GHS.
