The Global Harmonization System (GHS) is a unified international system for the classification and labeling of chemicals, designed by the United Nations. It was adopted by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in 2008 for use on the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet). The following link to the OSHA (n.d.) website details information on GHS and is provided for further reference https://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/ghs.html#1.1.

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) System of Identifying Potential Hazards: NFPA uses a hazard diamond shaped figure divided into four color-coded quadrants for rapid identification of hazards:

? Hazards: health, flammability, chemical reactivity
? Severity: 0 to 4
