It should be noted that in August 2011, OSHA intended to modify this regulation to incorporate elements of the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS), which is a system the United Nations (UN) developed for standardizing and harmonizing the classification and labeling of chemicals to help ensure their safe use, transport, and disposal.

The nanomaterials mentioned above were not assigned as substances requiring risk assessment. The same concept of risk assessment as with chemicals substances could be adopted for nanomaterials, but it is desirable to develop a nanomaterial-specific method of assessment, such as exposure assessment and mitigation techniques. Information about the hazards and the physical and chemical properties of chemicals can be effectively obtained from the Material Safety Data Sheet (SDS), which classifies chemical hazards in accordance with the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) established by the United Nation in 2003. The GHS, which has the purpose of preventing disasters and protecting health and the environment, provides the data of the SDS with pictograms to classify the risks and hazards of chemicals. Table 7.2.1 shows the hazardous part of carbon black in the SDS. As the table shows, hazards are classified into acute toxicity, sensitization, carcinogenicity and mutagenicity.
Lubricant Packaging and Filling

The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was created by the United Nations (UN) to replace several classification and labelling standards used in different countries. The GHS uses consistent criteria for classification and labelling on a global level. Its development began at the UN Rio Conference in 1992. It supersedes the relevant European Union (EU) system (which has implemented the GHS into EU law as the CLP regulation) and U.S. standards.
Incorporating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and green chemistry principles into high school curricula

In Canadian curricula (49–51), mole-mass relationships are generally introduced in Grades 10 or 11, although extensive properties (mass, volume) are familiar to elementary school students. Atomic theory is usually introduced in Grades 9 or 10. Hazard systems, such as the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), the American Hazard Communication Standard (HCS), and the European Union Classification, Labelling and Packaging Regulation (CLP), are generally taught in Grades 8 or 9, and humanist themes, specifically with a sustainability focus, are often introduced earlier. These four axioms were chosen because they are apparent across existing curricula. Furthermore, three of the axioms can be used to group the GCP at a novice-level of understanding, according to Mahaffy’s extension of Johnstone’s model (Table 2).
