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 of Hazardous Chemical A are handled on a regular basis at the on-site laboratory, and the hazards are well-known by the workers. Reduced labelling is permitted for the batch samples.
    * Active Constituent A is manufactured at Site A and then later formulated into an end-use product, Agricultural Chemical Product A. The end-use product is formulated at the same facility, Site A, where the active ingredient is manufactured, and the workers undertaking the formulation step are aware of the hazards. In this case, the reduced labelling is permitted for Active Constituent A. However, Agricultural Chemical Product A must be labelled with all requisite labelling information.
    * From the previous example, if Active Constituent A is transported to a different facility, Site B, for formulation into the end-use product Agricultural Chemical Product A, even where both facilities are owned and operated by the same company, Active Constituent A must be labelled with all requisite labelling information.

3.5 Hazardous waste products
Hazardous waste products must be identified and correctly classified, so far as is reasonably practicable. Where it is not reasonably practicable to undertake a complete hazard classification
of waste material, the hazard classification must be determined or estimated using a precautionary approach based on the known or likely constituents of the waste.

Regulation 335, Part 3 of Schedule 9: If it is reasonably likely that a waste product is a hazardous chemical, then the label on the container of the hazardous waste must be written in English and at a minimum, include the following:
    * the product identifier
    * the name, Australian address and business telephone number of either the manufacturer or the importer, and
    * a hazard pictogram and hazard statement that are consistent with the correct classification of the chemical.

The product identifier should reflect the nature of the waste as closely as possible and may depend on the extent of knowledge about the components of the waste. Examples of product identifiers may include:
    * chlorinated solvent waste
    * flammable waste
    * chromium VI waste
    * heavy metal waste.
Labels for hazardous wastes should include as much hazard information as reasonably practicable based on what is known about the identity and any suspected hazards. The label of any hazardous wastes should also include, where possible, the following information:
    * the identity of any known or likely hazardous constituents or impurities and their proportions (for example, 'contains chromium VI, 5%', or 'may contain trace levels of organic peroxides')
    * relevant
