Designing for safety

Safety In And Around The Home

Author: Australia Dept of Housing and Construction,
Year: 1981
Type: Book Section

Abstract:

People buying, building or altering a home should consider the possibility of accidents arising from the design and location of the building and its site. Houses should be designed not only for adults but with the expectation that children can use them just as easily and safely and that they will not be tempted to investigate potentially harmful objects.
