... found the safety data sheet QGC had submitted for the fracking chemical THPS was American, incomplete and 10 years out of date.

Chemical management expert Mariann Lloyd-Smith also examined the documents and believes the company may be in breach of the national safety code governing toxic chemicals.

Federal and state government regulators put a total of 1,500 conditions on QGC's Curtis LNG Project when they approved it late last year.

But Dr Lloyd-Smith believes the company's safety sheets - used in its recent Environment Authority application - are not up to scratch.

Under a national code, safety data sheets on chemicals used must contain information on Australian emergency contacts and regulations and be written within the past five years.
