Checklist: Falls on Stairs



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.
Advancements in information technology have made control rooms vital for managing complex systems across various industries, highlighting the need for meticulous design. Applying ergonomic principles, such as user-centred design and optimal layout, enhances efficiency, safety, and comfort in control centres, while adherence to ISO 11064 standards ensures comprehensive design and functionality.
Falls on stairs are common and can lead to serious injuries, often due to factors like slip-resistant surfaces, step geometry, and lighting. To prevent these accidents, it is crucial to ensure proper stair design, maintenance, and adherence to safety standards, as well as to address behavioral factors such as fatigue or distractions.
