Model Code of Practice: Managing the risk of falls in housing construction

This model Code of Practice provides guidance on managing the risk of falls in housing construction. 

In this model Code, the word:  

• ‘should’ indicates a recommended course of action, and  
• ‘may’ means an optional course of action. 

The words ‘must’, ‘requires’ or ‘mandatory’ mean that the courses of action are compulsory.

Check with your local regulator to find out if this Code of Practice has legal effect in your jurisdiction.
