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.

Balustrades must reach one metre. We have measured them below it here.
First floor bedroom windows need an opening restriction limiting the gap to 125mm.
Star pickets and reo bar ends need caps while people work on the slab deck.
Heating and cooling isolators have to remain readily accessible.
Loose deck boards and deteriorated timber stairs are recorded as hazards, not wear.
