Which item is NOT a required element of GHS labeling?

• A. Product Identifier
• B. First Aid Statements
• C. Pictograms
• D. Signal Word

Answer: (B)

GHS labeling is designed to convey hazards quickly and clearly with a fixed set of elements on the label. You’ll typically see the product identifier so you know exactly what you have, pictograms to show hazards at a glance, a signal word like Danger or Warning to indicate severity, hazard statements that describe what the chemical can do, precautionary statements that tell you how to handle, store, and respond to exposure, and the supplier’s contact information for more details.

First aid information isn’t listed as a separate required element on the label. Detailed first aid guidance is generally found in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS). On a label, any first aid guidance would be folded into the precautionary (especially the response) statements or simply referenced to consult the SDS for more information. So, the item describing first aid statements isn’t a mandatory standalone element on GHS labels, which is why it’s the correct choice.
