Since I emailed everyone to let them know about this blog, the phone has run hot and it's revealed something worrying: many people think that if they meet the new National Code of Practice for the Prevention of Falls in General Construction (General Falls Code), that this means compliance with state codes. Not so. The national code is for guidance only.
If you have sites in NSW, then the NSW code applies.
Another interesting and very valid comment is that the draft NSW Code of Practice is based on 1993 legislation. The 2001 regulations simply adopted outdated legislation, so the legislation really needs to be changed.
