Don't forget to build in safety! Download our Don't forget to build in safety! (254k, pdf) brochure. Most homeowners don’t realize that when a renovation or construction project is underway, their home essentially doubles as a work site under Ontario’s Occupational Health and Safety Act. If an injury occurs due to unsafe work practices, they could be charged or fined under this legislation. Hiring safety conscious contractors and workers helps protect homeowners from liability and it lessens the chances of them incurring costly delays that may result if someone working on their project is injured. Designed in collaboration with the WSIB, the Ministry of Labour (MOL) and the Construction Safety Association of Ontario (CSAO),"Don't forget to build in safety!" includes important information about the homeowner’s role in reducing injuries and contains valuable safety tips and contact information.
