Keep It Safe

· For everyone's safety, stay out of the way--this includes children and animals.
· Designate an area for garbage--this should be off limits and out of reach to children and pets.
· Tell your children that the construction area is not a playground--review what they can touch and items to avoid--but still be aware of their whereabouts during construction.
· If there are exposed wires, double check that the power is off and that the wires are capped.
· Ask your contractor to tape off or barricade any potential hazards and properly cover any holes. With tools around, you may prefer to close off the area completely where no one can get in.
