Frequently Asked Questions
What are some other tips for SAFE RENOVATIONS?
- Make sure the building is structurally sound before starting the work. If in doubt, have a structural engineer assess the building prior to commencing the work.
- Know the building and building systems prior to starting . . . where are the gas lines, water lines, electrical lines, load-bearing walls?
- Have the work area(s) inspected for asbestos and lead-based paint and have hazardous materials removed prior to commencing the renovation work.
- Have a clear plan for the renovation project before commencing and be prepared to revisit and adjust the plan as needed. Typically, when renovating older buildings, issues will arise that are best to handle during the project, not after the project.
- Contain and separate the renovation project from the rest of the building in such a way that dust and debris stay in the renovation area only. When renovating, the non-renovation area needs to be protected from dust, mold, and other contaminants.
- Consult experts as needed.
- Clean and organize the worksite daily. This habit will keep the renovators safe and will help identify any possible problems that may arise.
- Use personal protective equipment as needed.
- Confirm that the carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and fire extinguishers are in good working condition. Have a first aid kit on site.
- Be on the lookout for mold. Mold is one of the most vicious contaminants that seems to be hidden in buildings until renovations begin. Address mold-contaminated environments during the project.
