Recommends design criteria for conditions affecting the acoustic environment within building interiors to ensure a healthy, comfortable and productive environment for the occupants and the users.

The national workplace exposure standard for respirable crystalline silica has been halved from an eight hour time-weighted average airborne concentration of 0.1 milligrams per cubic metre (mg/m3) to 0.05 mg/m3; this new workplace exposure standard takes effect in Queensland from 1 July 2020.

Silicosis is preventable by using proper controls to eliminate or minimise expo sure to respirable crystalline silica dust in the workplace.

Provides a method whereby the frequency dependent values of airborne sound insulation of building elements and in building can be converted into a single number characterizing the acoustical performance; this Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 717-1:1996.

Provides practical guidance for persons conducting a business or undertaking on how to manage risks associated with respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposure in construction work; manufacturing of construction elements.

Provides practical guidance to persons conducting a business or undertaking (PCBU) who design structures that will be used, or could reasonably be expected to be used, as a workplace; this includes architects, building designers and engineers; this Code is also relevant for anyone making decisions that influence the design outcome, such as clients, developers and builders.

Provides practical guidance to persons conducting a business or undertaking on how to comply with their health and safety duties relating to scaffolds, scaffolding and scaffolding work.

Provides advice aimed at preventing the risk of injury or death to persons undertaking steel construction and other persons at the workplace.

This code of practice applies to the principal safety issues associated with tilt-up and pre-cast construction; it includes basic guidance on casting of panels, panel lifting and rigging systems, propping and securing of panels and work at height associated with panels and other pre-cast concrete elements; it does not consider all issues in this type of construction but focuses on the primary safety issues; this code of practice does not discuss pre-tensioning and post-tensioning of concrete elements.

Provides practical guidance to persons conducting a business or undertaking on how to comply with their health and safety duties when carrying out work with tower cranes.
