SNZ HB 4102:2011

Provides a general overview of steps that can be taken to reduce hazards in the home through design, building and maintenance. Recommended for people who undertake do-it-yourself projects, homeowners, tenants, and real estate agents, as well as a wide range of people in the building industry such as builders, architects, engineers, plumbers, electricians, glaziers, and landscapers. In discussing common safety hazards in the home, this guide identifies what actions are required under the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) or other legislation. It also provides design, building, and maintenance recommendations that are beyond minimum legal requirements, but are considered good practice for reducing hazards in the home.
