CLIFFORD:
I chose wd-40 since it is a household item that we all use at home. The GHS provides a lot of information for the product. It is very extensive and there are no questions at all as to what health, physical, or environmental issues are present. The information is plentiful and present for anyone using the product that has access to this information. The NFPA label does not provide as much information at the GHS. There is a lot of duplicating information, but from a business perspective I would choose the GHS to use for an employer. The more information that can be provided the better. If the information was needed, then the quicker someone could get it the better off you would be. Globally Harmonized System
