Choosing the right contractor for your home renovation is about more than cost—it’s also about safety. On this episode of the IHSA Safety Podcast, we discuss contractor safety standards when it comes to home renovations. This episode takes a different approach as it plays out real-world scenarios and conversations between a homeowner and potential contractors.

The conversations emphasize the importance of contractor safety standards and the critical decisions homeowners must make when hiring a contractor for their home renovations. Key tips to keep in mind when hiring a contractor include:

·      Always ask for proof of WSIB coverage and liability insurance

·      Pay rapt attention to how the contractor talks about safety

·      Remember that the cheapest quote isn't always the best deal
