AS/NZS 1680.1: 2006: Interior and Workplace Lighting - General Principles and Recommendations.
This standard has been revised. Part one applies to interiors in which specific visual tasks are undertaken and takes into account both electric lighting and daylight. Although the standard is relevant for work places, it is a good guide for lighting in home environments. The new edition includes daylight values, an expanded section on glare, updated values in various tables and an expanded section on luminance limiting approach.
AS 3806:2006: Compliance Programs
This standard provides key principles for the development, implementation and maintenance of effective compliance programs within both public and private organisations. These principles help organisations identify and remedy any deficiencies in their process for compliance with laws, regulations and codes - and also develop processes for continual improvement.
AS 4386.1:1996: Domestic Kitchen Assemblies, and it’s complimentary Handbook, HB 111:1998
This Standard specifies the minimum requirements for the construction, durability, safety, ergonomics, strength, coordination of services and choice of components of fitted kitchen assemblies for use in domestic applications. It covers dimensions for unit/assembly heights, widths and depths as well as space requirements for units, appliances and fittings, in order to ensure that they fit together as elements of a kitchen assembly. The aim of the Handbook is to prepare consumers for the design process, to clarify their needs and desires and to enable them to present the kitchen designer with a clear outline, in the form of a design brief, to ensure that their expectations are met.
The Australian Standards HB 205 – 2004 OHS Risk Management Handbook
This handbook can assist organisations to prevent injury and disease by providing steps for implementing a risk management process. The handbook compliments AS/NZS 4360:2004, Risk Management, in that it incorporates a practical element to the principles of the risk management process addressed in the standard. The Handbook expands upon the seven step risk management process recorded in AS/NZS 4360:2004: communicate and consult, establish the context, identify risks, analyse risks, evaluate risks, treat risks, and monitor and review.
