In this instrument:
                                                           8-hour time-weighted average means the averaging of different exposure levels during an average exposure period equivalent to eight hours.
                               acute myeloid leukaemia—see subsection 7(2).
     being exposed to benzene as specified means:
(a)          having cutaneous contact with liquids containing benzene greater than 1% by volume; or
(b)          ingesting liquids containing benzene greater than 1% by volume; or
(c)          inhaling benzene vapour where such exposure occurs at an ambient 8- hour time-weighted average benzene concentration exceeding 5 parts per million.

     Note: 8-hour time-weighted average is defined in the Schedule 1 – Dictionary.
                               being obese means having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater.
Note: BMI is defined in the Schedule 1 – Dictionary.
                               BMI means W/H2, where:
(a)          W is the person's weight in kilograms; and
(b)          H is the person's height in metres.
                               cumulative equivalent dose means the total dose of ionising radiation received by the particular organ or tissue from external exposure, internal exposure or both, apart from normal background radiation exposure in Australia, calculated in accordance with the methodology set out in Guide to calculation of 'cumulative equivalent dose' for the purpose of applying ionising radiation factors contained in Statements of Principles determined under Part XIA of the Veterans' Entitlements Act 1986 (Cth), Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency, as in force on 2 August 2017.
Note 1: Examples of circumstances that might lead to exposure to ionising radiation include being present during or subsequent to the testing or use of nuclear weapons, undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic medical procedures involving ionising radiation, and being a member of an aircrew, leading to increased levels of exposure to cosmic radiation.
Note 2: For the purpose of dose reconstruction, dose is calculated as an average over the mass of a specific tissue or organ. If a tissue is exposed to multiple sources of ionising radiation, the various dose estimates for each type of radiation must be combined.
                                  MRCA means the Military Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2004.
                               myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm means a myeloid neoplasm with clinical, laboratory and morphologic features that overlap myelodysplastic neoplasm and myeloproliferative neoplasm. It includes:
(a)          chronic myelomonocytic leukaemia;
(b)          myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm with neutrophilia  (previously atypical chronic myeloid leukaemia);
(c)          myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm with SF3B1 mutation and thrombocytosis;
(d)          myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm not otherwise specified (previously myelodysplastic/myeloproliferative neoplasm unclassifiable).
                               one pack-year means the amount of tobacco consumed in smoking 20 cigarettes per day for a period of 1 year, or an equivalent amount of tobacco products.
Note 1: An equivalent amount of tobacco products is 7,300 grams of smoking tobacco by weight, either in cigarettes, pipe tobacco or cigars, or a combination of same. For pipe tobacco, cigars or combinations of multiple tobacco types,
