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.

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.
