Who Developed GHS? Who Regulates?

Question

There are tons of different workplace safety standards out there, and they all seem to have various pros and cons associated with them. When looking specifically at GHS, what are the big advantages? Where was it developed, and by whom? What group implements changes or updates to this system (if any)? Finally (and maybe most importantly) who regulates GHS? As an American company, are there even regulations that say how it should be used for a given company?
