- Before choosing a renovation company, be aware if that company purchased labor insurance.
- When working at height, renovation works need to wear a parachute harness, at anytime consistently hold on a solid line in a suitable anchorage.
- The renovation company must conduct a risk evaluation.
- Before choosing a renovation company, one should realize the structure and ability of a company, for example if the company provides regular staff training, the resume and the strength of designers and how professional are the renovation workers, and employ a large-scaled, well known and experienced company. Also, companies should be accredited the ISO International Certifcation, and have to be strictly examined by banks which offering interest-free instalment will be preferable and more reliable.
- If owners hire unregistered constructors to perform the 126 items of building works included in Minor Works Control System, even owners purchased related insurance before the prjoect begin, Insurance may consider that owner may be charged and bear any possible accident arise. Incurring greater loss, hence choosing a registered contractor would just be your best choice.
