WHS Regulations, table 11.1, column 4 for that hazardous chemical. Note: This schedule has been replicated in Appendix D of this Code.
Precautionary Statement means a phrase prescribed by the GHS that describes measures that are recommended to be taken to prevent or minimise the adverse effects of exposure to a hazardous chemical or the improper handling of a hazardous chemical.

Substance means a chemical element or compound in its natural state or obtained or generated by a process:
    * including any additive necessary to preserve the stability of the element or compound and any impurities deriving from the process, but
    * excluding any solvent that may be separated without affecting the stability of the element or compound, or changing its composition.
Supply includes selling or transferring ownership or responsibility for a chemical.
