Which item is NOT part of the three elements of a Globally Harmonized System label?

• A. Safety data sheets
• B. Symbols
• C. Hazard statements
• D. Signal words

Answer: (A)

The three elements typically found on a GHS label are the symbols (pictograms) that visually indicate hazard types, the signal words (such as Danger or Warning) that show the level of severity, and the hazard statements that describe the specific hazards of the product. Safety Data Sheets provide detailed hazard information, safe handling guidelines, first aid, and emergency measures, and they are a separate document from the label. Therefore, Safety Data Sheets are not part of the label's three elements.
