hazardous chemical is used only by a person present at the decanting process
    * the container is subsequently rendered free from any hazardous chemical immediately after use, so the container is in the condition it would be in if it had never contained the chemical.

Examples
    * A sample of hydrocarbon solvent is dispensed from a bulk container into a 15 L container by Worker A. All of the decanted hydrocarbon solvent in the 15 L container is then used immediately by Worker A in the same shift. No hydrocarbon solvent is left in the 15 L container (as though it has never contained the chemical). The container with the dispensed solvent is not left unattended by Worker A before it is used.
    In this example, the decanted hydrocarbon solvent is considered to be used immediately.
    * A sample of hydrocarbon solvent is dispensed from a bulk container into a 15 L container by Worker A. The solvent in the 15 L container is not completely used up by Worker A at the end of his/her work shift. Worker A has not left the container with the dispensed solvent unattended during the shift. The remainder of the solvent is left for Worker B.
    In this example, the decanted hydrocarbon solvent is not considered to be used immediately.
Where a container is repeatedly used for decanting as part of normal work procedures or processes, a permanent label with all the general labelling information must be attached to the container. Permanently labelled containers must not be used to contain any other substances or mixtures than those specified on the label.

3.4 Hazardous chemicals with known hazards that are not supplied to another workplace

Regulation 335, Part 3 of Schedule 9: If a hazardous chemical is not being supplied to another workplace and the hazards associated with the chemical are known to the workers involved in using, handling or storing the chemical, then the label must, at a minimum, be written in English and include the following:
    * the product identifier, and
    * a hazard pictogram or hazard statement that are consistent with the correct classification of the chemical.
Where a hazardous chemical will not be supplied to another workplace, and your workers involved in its handling have sufficient knowledge of the associated hazards, then you may omit some of the information normally required in a label. The label should communicate enough information on the hazards as necessary to ensure its safe use.

Examples of labelling chemicals that are not supplied to another workplace
    * Hazardous Chemical A is manufactured at Site A. Batch samples of Hazardous Chemical A
      are routinely sent to a laboratory at the same manufacturing site for analysis. Samples
