Victorian Consolidated Regulations

For ease of reference only, definitions (but not other parts of speech and grammatical forms of a word or phrase defined) appear in bold in the text. Section 39 of the Interpretation of Legislation Act 1984 provides that where a word or phrase is given a particular meaning in an Act or subordinate instrument, other parts of speech and grammatical forms of that word or phrase have, unless the contrary intention appears, corresponding meanings. - SECT 309

        that person; and

   (b)  if the MSDS is revised, to any person to whom the dangerous goods are
        supplied for use on or before the first occasion that the dangerous
        goods are supplied to that person after that revision; and

   (c)  on request, to an occupier of any premises where those dangerous goods
        are stored and handled.
