Design Information Centre would like to remind everyone the following items, to pay attention to the importance of occupational safety and avoid fatal accidents.
- 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 Certification, and have to be strictly examined by banks which offering interest-free instalment will be preferable and more reliable.
- Don’t choose discreditable companies because of low prices to avoid unnecessary loss.
- Where any work is in progress, all workers and mentors have to comply with the regulations strictly so as to protect the safety and interest of any parties.
- Before choosing a renovation company, be aware if that company purchased labor insurance.
- When working in a high place, the workers must wear the seat belt and link it to unmovable place to ensure the safety.
