New wayfinding resources available

Wayfinding design guidelines and Wayfinding system audit
Two new publications have been released from the Wayfinding in the Built Environment project. They have been developed to help designers, developers, property owners and managers do their part in creating a more accessible, more inclusive built environment.
 
Wayfinding design guidelines outlines a practical and comprehensive design method to wayfinding and identifies ways of improving access to, into and through new and existing properties. Wayfinding system audit includes an audit checklist template to be customised for gathering information on buildings and their surrounds. Both publications are now available in accessible versions for vision impaired users with screen reader software.
 
Guide to best practice for safer construction
 
?
The Guide has been developed by the Australian building and construction industry, to help combat the unacceptably high death and injury rates of workers on Australian building sites. On average, one worker a week dies on a construction site in Australia and many more are seriously injured. Former Federal Employment and Workplace relations Minister Joe Hockey launched the Guide to Best Practice for Safer Construction on Wednesday 12 September, 2007.
