Avery® GHS Labels

Avery GHS labels are required for compliance

Certain chemicals and substances need to be labeled in a manner that complies with the standards of the Globally Harmonized System (GHS), which is required by Occupational Safety and Health Administration. They display information about the contents of containers and, if they are flammable, how they should be handled, stored, transported and disposed of. These labels should also have first aid information, instructing how to respond if the chemical comes into contact with the skin or the eyes. Many corporations produce or ship these chemicals, so Avery chemical labels, as well as other types of labels, are essential office supplies for any business that handles chemicals.

Avery GHS labels are customizable

Many templates are available online for you to use when creating the labels you need. Select all essential chemical information and write out important text along with accompanying symbols to ensure clarity and arrange in a way that is attention-getting and easy to read. There are also multiple sizes to choose from to fit large and small containers from barrels to bottles. Many labels work with laser printers or with a label printer.
