A globally adopted system of labelling hazardous substances is intended to reduce this risk, but the pictograms that are central to this are often misunderstood. We sought to discover children’s interpretation of Globally Harmonised System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals pictograms, to promote greater awareness and understanding of them, and to inform public health messages and teaching in schools.
