GHS Hazard Symbols & Labels

Transit and packing labels featuring GHS chemical hazard symbols

All packages containing dangerous goods should be identified by diamond shaped hazard warning labels featuring the official GHS chemical hazard symbols when transported. All labels are printed using high quality permanent adhesive with UV varnish to provide a tough, long-lasting safety label. Because the GHS pictograms are a globally recognised means of identifying hazardous packages, our hazard warning signs are perfect for identifying hazardous substances in the UK and overseas.

The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is a system administered by the United Nations Economic and Social Council (and described in detail here on the website of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe) to ensure goods labelled as dangerous can easily be identified as such no matter where they are shipped in the world. The system was implemented in 2002 when a series of chemical hazard symbols was adopted as being the official means of labelling dangerous loads and packages, and our hazard labels are fully compliant with this system.
