Safety items checked on Donnybrook inspections

Several of the things our inspectors record in Donnybrook are safety findings rather than quality ones. Balustrades under a metre, first floor windows without an opening restriction, and star pickets left uncapped on an open slab deck all carry a real risk of injury, and each has been recorded on a Donnybrook job.

FAQ

Safety items checked on Donnybrook inspections: common questions

Why does 125mm matter on a window?

It is the maximum opening allowed on an upper floor window so a child cannot fall through. A missing restrictor is a safety defect.

Is a low balustrade really a defect?

Yes. One metre is the minimum, and below that it is recorded as a safety hazard requiring rectification.

Do you check these on every inspection?

On any inspection where they are visible and within scope, yes. They are among the first things looked at.
