When a remodeling company is adding a structure to your home, all workers must take every precaution to ensure everyone stays safe. Here are some safety guidelines the right design-build remodeling company will observe during the construction process.

Keep Sharp Objects Away

Sharp objects like screws, nails, and bolts can hurt anyone who walks on them barefoot, so it's important to be observant of where they're stored when building work is in progress. Home remodeling injuries from sharp objects like nails, screws, and bolts account for 30%.

Check for Hazards in the Yard

Workers from the remodeling company must survey the yard before starting work for any trees, dips in the yard, or exposed wires and pipes that could cause injury if stepped on or tripped over. This will help eliminate the possibility of an injury during the construction process.

Safe Storage of Hazardous Materials

The right design-build remodeling company will not store flammable materials in the construction areas near heat sources or anywhere else where they can easily ignite. Gasoline and oil containers, paint thinners and varnishes, paper products, and other household chemicals like cleaners and bleach will be safely stored during the construction process.

Avoid Naked Electrical Wires

All electrical outlets with covers will be sealed to prevent someone from accidentally touching live wires, especially in wet spaces like bathrooms.

Have Safety Kits at Hand

Your design-build remodeling company will have fire extinguishers on hand and know how to use them. They'll also ensure there are safety kits available in the event of a minor injury.

Observe Ladder Safety

A ladder must always be secured to the ground or another stable surface. When your design-build remodelers use an extension ladder on uneven ground, they should place it against a solid structure such as a house or tree trunk for stability. They'll also ensure there are no broken rungs or missing bolts.

Wear Protective Clothing

Your design-build remodelers will wear appropriate clothing and avoid wearing loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in moving parts. They'll also use hard hats, eye protection, gloves, and sturdy footwear with non-slip soles such as boots.

Safety is always paramount, and injuries can be avoided by following these simple tips. The right design-build remodeling company will follow these safety guidelines and more. To learn more, contact our team today!
