Queensland Numbered Acts Queensland Numbered Acts(1) This section applies for the purpose of applying, for this Act, a provision of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 that, under this part, is applied for this Act.
(2) A reference in an applied WHS provision to the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 is taken to be a reference to this Act.
Example—
An applied WHS provision uses the term 'this Act'. As enacted in the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 it means that Act, but as an applied WHS provision for this Act it means this Act.
(3) Subsection (4) applies if—
(a) a provision of the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 that is applied for this Act mentions another provision of that Act (the mentioned provision); and
(b) the mentioned provision has also been applied for this Act.
(4) The reference to the mentioned provision is taken to be a reference to that provision as applied for this Act.
Example—
1 Section 32 applies the Work Health and Safety Act 2011, section 155 for this Act.
2 Applied WHS section 155 mentions section 172 of that Act.
3 Section 172 of that Act has been applied as a provision for this Act by section 33(3).
4 Therefore, in applied WHS section 155, the reference to section 172 is taken to be a reference to applied WHS section 172.
(5) Subject to this Act, a term used in an applied WHS provision has the same meaning as it has in the Work Health and Safety Act 2011, with necessary changes for its application for this Act.
