100: Meaning of notice

You could also call this:

“This section explains what 'notice' means in the context of workplace safety”

In this part of the law, when you see the word ‘notice’, it means a special kind of message. There are four types of notices that can be given under this law: improvement notices, prohibition notices, non-disturbance notices, and suspension notices. A notice can also mean a follow-up message that comes after one of these four types. This definition applies unless the surrounding text suggests it means something different.
