Acceptable Solutions and Verification Methods (AS and VMs) were called compliance documents. Some still have the “compliance document” title but the AS or VMs they contain are valid and unaffected by the name change.
F5 Construction and demolition hazards
Providing protection of people and other property during construction and demolition.
This clause ensures construction and demolition avoids the likelihood of objects falling onto people (and property) on or off site, and other hazards. For example, it prevents the unauthorised entry of children to hazards on site and requires barriers to restrict public access and provide safe routes.
