are designed primarily to assist emergency services personnel in case of an accident or emergency.
Note: The ADG Code refers to dangerous goods pictograms as Class or Division labels. Other information required on a package or container is referred to as markings. The size and colour
of labels and markings required for transport are specified in the ADG Code.
 The ADG Code recognises the GHS as an appropriate labelling system for inner packages of dangerous goods during transport. As this code describes GHS-compliant labelling, labels prepared in accordance with this code should meet the inner package labelling requirements prescribed in the ADG Code for dangerous goods during transport.
To meet both workplace and transport labelling requirements, additional health and safety information may be required on some transport containers. The additional information would generally relate to chronic health hazards, which are not regulated for transport purposes.
For outer packaging used within the workplace, workplace labelling requirements may be met by attaching to the container a supplementary panel or label that includes the additional information. The additional information should be clearly distinguishable from the information required to meet transport laws.

3.8 Consumer products

Regulation 335: A hazardous chemical does not need to meet the labelling requirements under the WHS Regulations if the chemical is a consumer product with the original label on its container and if it is reasonably foreseeable that the hazardous chemical will be used in the workplace only:
    * in a quantity that is consistent with consumer household use
    * in a way that is consistent with consumer household use, and
    * in a way that is incidental to the nature of the work carried out by a worker using the chemical.
The following example shows how to distinguish between a consumer product and a workplace hazardous chemical:
Toilet cleaner is sold in 750 ml bottles for domestic use and is sold in 20 L containers to commercial cleaning businesses. The 750 ml bottle is intended for domestic use and does not need to be labelled in accordance with the WHS Regulations.
However, it is reasonably foreseeable that, due to the package size of the 20 L product, it would be used in a workplace rather than in a domestic situation. Therefore, the 20 L product must be labelled according to workplace labelling requirements.
Consumer products which do not meet the definition of a workplace hazardous chemical and are covered by the SUSMP must comply with SUSMP labelling requirements.

3.9 Agricultural or veterinary chemical products

Regulation 335, Part 3 of Schedule 9: Agricultural and veterinary chemicals must have a label in English that complies with the requirements of the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority and also includes the
