Part D: Managing houses for safety and health
A cyclical maintenance program is essential for sustaining the safety and health of houses and yard areas in a community. This program is best staffed by local people who have knowledge about the parts of health hardware that they can maintain and the components that require licensed tradespeople to be brought into the community. The following information sets out:
- Safety and health priorities
- Items that the community staff can check and fix, indicated by circled numbers on the drawings
- Items that require licensed tradespeople to test and fix
Each diagram includes number labels for critical parts of the safety or health hardware, which are described in the text.
