SWA issues reminder regarding transition to GHS 7
Safe Work Australia has issued a reminder for businesses and employers, as the transition to the Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals Revision 7 (GHS 7) ends on 31 December 2022.
From 1 January 2023, GHS 7 must be used to classify chemicals and prepare labels and safety data sheets (SDS) for newly manufactured and imported hazardous chemicals in Australia (unless otherwise advised by the work health and safety regulator).
The SDS for existing chemicals should also comply with GHS 7 from 1 January 2023; it should be noted that Western Australia’s GHS 7 start date is 31 March 2023. More information about GHS 7 can be found on the Safe Work Australia website.
