Checklist: Apprentice / Young Worker

The National Construction Code (NCC) outlines minimum standards for building safety, health, and sustainability in Australia, and adherence is crucial for compliance. When challenges arise, professional guidance from experts can help address non-compliance through alternative solutions and ensure designs meet the required standards.
A Letter of Instruction (LOI) is a formal document given to an expert, outlining the facts, issues, and questions needed for their opinion on a case. To ensure clarity and avoid issues, solicitors should consult with the expert before finalizing the LOI, include only relevant documents, adhere to the Expert Witness Code of Conduct, and specify timelines and fees.
Meeting National Construction Code (NCC) requirements can be challenging due to technical constraints or other regulations, but Performance Solutions offer a pathway for innovative compliance. Applying ergonomics principles helps develop these solutions by considering human factors such as accessibility, behavior, and visual cues, optimising building design for safety and functionality.
