GHS Label Generator

GHS labels are standardized chemical safety labels required under the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). They identify hazardous chemicals using specific pictograms, signal words, hazard statements, and precautionary imagery.

You can create a GHS label by selecting or entering your chemical, choosing hazard statements, adding additional statement details, and entering supplier information into our GHS label generator. Our tool formats your information into a GHS-style layout that works with printable chemical-resistant labels, ensuring consistent labeling throughout your workplace.

A GHS label typically includes the product identifier, signal words, hazard statements, precautionary statements, supplier information, and the appropriate GHS pictograms. These elements help convey the risks associated with the chemicals and provide guidance on safe usage.

Using weatherproof materials can help ensure your GHS labels stay intact when exposed to moisture, solvents, or abrasion. For high-durability applications, many businesses choose our waterproof options or polyester-laminate labels, which provide added protection against chemicals and heavy handling.

Hazard statements are directly from the chemical's Safety Data Sheet (SDS), typically found in Section 2 (Hazard Identification). Your SDS outlines the required phrases, pictograms, and signal words needed for GHS compliance.

GHS labels do not require ingredients, branding, or supplemental marketing text. Only approved hazard communication elements should appear on the label. Additional text may be added if it does not detract from or contradict the required GHS information.

Yes. You can apply GHS labels to secondary containers used for the transfer or storage of materials. Many employers use simplified secondary container label templates, which maintain essential safety information while fitting smaller containers.

Our GHS label generator follows OSHA's formatting requirements. However, compliance depends on the accuracy of the information you enter, including statements and pictograms pulled from your chemical's SDS. Always verify before printing or applying chemical safety labels.

Label size depends on the container's shape, available space, and the required GHS elements. Larger containers may need bigger labels to display all pictograms and statements clearly, while smaller containers may use condensed layouts. Our tool allows you to select a size that fits your container while keeping all required information legible.

GHS pictograms visually communicate the type of hazard associated with a chemical. Common symbols represent flammability, toxicity, oxidizers, corrosion, environmental hazards, and more. Each pictogram is assigned based on the classifications listed in the chemical's SDS, ensuring your labels reflect the correct hazards.
