government, industry associations, interest groups and the
academe.
• One integrated program for education, competence &
expertise building, and support systems,
• company-level cascading is essential and should result to GHS
implementation in companies.

• Solutions to GHS implementation may be duplicated across

countries
• should take into consideration other countries’ best practices
• similar programs in other countries is always helpful
• cooperation and networking is essential
Summary

• Solutions to GHS implementation

should go beyond regulatory and
commercial compliance.
• They must take into account the aim of
GHS which is the safe use of chemicals
in view of sustainable development
and corporate social responsibility
