PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENT
- In US safety standards, precautionary
statements are sentences providing information on
potential hazards, and proper procedures. They are
used in situations from consumer products on labels
and manuals, to descriptions of physical activities.
Various methods are used to bring focus to them, such
as setting apart from normal text, graphic icons,
changes in text's font and color. Texts will often clarify
the types of statements and their meanings within the
text.

HAZARDS STATEMENT
-Hazard statements form part of the GHS. They are intended to form a set
of standardized phrases about the hazards of chemical substances and
mixtures that can be translated into different languages. As such, they serve
the same purpose as the well-known R-phrases, which they are intended to
replace.
Hazard statements are one of the key elements for the labelling ofcontainers
under the GHS, along with:an identification of the product
• one or more hazard pictograms (where necessary)
• a signal word – either Danger or Warning – where necessary
• Precautionary statement indicating how the product should be handled to
minimize risks to the user (as well as to other people and the general
environment)
• the identity of the supplier (who might be a manufacturer or importer).
