Provides practical work health and safety information for duty holders, primarily for ‘persons conducting a business or undertaking’ (PCBUs), on the duties and obligations under the model WHS laws, identifying and assessing risks associated with installing solar panels on rooftops, control measures to manage the risks, and how to plan and safely undertake rooftop solar installation work.

Specifies requirements for minimum safety requirements related to the use of generating sets for the supply of electricity at voltages normally exceeding 50 V a.c. or 120 V d.c.

Sets out the minimum requirements for electric lighting systems within publicly accessible areas of buildings to provide visual conditions that facilitate the safe movement of people in the normal use of the building.

Sets out requirements for corrugated cellulose-cement sheets for use primarily as roofing and wall cladding, as applied to auto-claved sheets in which the cement is partially replaced by ground silica.

Provides the procedure for structural design; includes design procedures, reference to design actions (other parts of the series), combinations of actions, detailing for robustness, methods of analysis and methods for confirmation of a limit states design; also covers the use of special studies and experimental testing and, for New Zealand, criteria for selection of annual probability of exceedance.

Specifies the requirements for damp-proof course and flashing materials of the sheet membrane, strip and collar type for use in building construction.

Provides design values of snow and ice actions for use in structural design; it is intended to be used in conjunction with AS/NZS 1170.0, which gives the procedure for structural design; snow regions are defined and ground snow loads are provided for a range of annual probabilities of exceedance; other factors cover the environment around the structure, the geometry of the structure and the effect of winds on snow distribution.
