"I recommend that the committees responsible for the relevant Australian Standards consider amendments to ensure that people working over or adjacent to water or liquid who may be at risk of falling into the water and drowning wear an approved PFD – including AS/NZS 1891.4:2009 (committee SF-015) and AS/NZS 4576:1995 (committee BD-36)."
