New Addition to the Label under WHMIS 2015 GHS is the use of Hazard Statements of Signal Words.

Recognizing Hazard Statements and Signal Words on the Supplier Label

• There are two signal words: Danger (higher-level hazards) and Warning (moderate-level hazards)

Sometimes no signal word is used for low-level hazards

Hazard statements describe the nature and degree of the hazard:

Example: Extremely flammable aerosol. They may use the word “DANGER” on the Label

Example: May be corrosive to metals. They may use the word “WARNING” on the label.

The pictogram(s), signal word and hazard statement(s) must be grouped together on a supplier label.
