What's in the guides collection

Guides are longer reference documents. Engineers use the steel design guides for connections, base plates and framing systems; supervisors use the crane, scaffold, falsework and excavation guides to plan safe work; and project managers use the road maps and handbooks to structure a project.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a guide and a code?

A code or regulation sets rules adopted by an authority. A guide explains good practice or how to meet those rules. Use guides to plan and train, and check the adopted code for the requirement itself.

Are the guides current?

Editions vary, and some guides are written for a particular country or state. Check the edition and source shown on each product page and confirm requirements against current local rules before relying on them.
