Renovating can be exciting, but safety should always come first—whether you’re DIY-ing or working with professionals. Here are the essentials:
Protective Gear: Always wear gloves, masks, goggles, and sturdy footwear.
Electrical Safety: Never attempt electrical work yourself—hire a licensed electrician.
Proper Ventilation: Dust, fumes, and paint need good airflow to keep your home safe.
Ladder Awareness: Use ladders on stable ground and never overreach.
Tool Safety: Read instructions, keep tools maintained, and store them safely when not in use.
Hazardous Materials: Be cautious of asbestos, lead paint, or mould in older homes—call in experts for removal.
Clear Workspaces: Keep areas free of clutter to avoid accidents.
