Applying the principles of good workplace design

Requirements and guidelines to help your agency set up a well-designed, modern workplace.

Agencies should consider to what extent they can adopt these guidelines. Both new builds and major refurbishments should be looked at on a project-by-project basis. Think about the scope, budget, time and building specific requirements for a project, as well as any relevant limitations. For example, what can be practically achieved, and what are the budget and scope constraints.

These guidelines are not intended to replace or override the provisions of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 or the government building performance specifications. If they conflict, the provisions of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and government building performance specifications apply first.
