GHS – Pictograms Picture This

The worker is handling chemical containers marked with GHS hazard pictograms without wearing any protective equipment. He is not using gloves, goggles, or a lab coat, and he is working near open containers in what appears to be a poorly ventilated and cluttered space. Ignoring the warnings on these labels puts him at serious risk of inhaling toxic fumes, chemical burns, or accidental spills. This unsafe behavior shows a clear lack of attention to the hazards identified by the GHS system.

Before handling any chemical product, workers must review the GHS pictograms and understand the risks they represent. It is essential to wear appropriate PPE such as chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and a protective apron or lab coat. Work should be done in a clean, well-ventilated area with proper containment measures in place. Taking these steps greatly reduces the risk of chemical exposure and helps ensure a safe working environment.
