Required Construction Documents:Don’t Forget to Ask for Proof of Insurance
I was driving along today and came across this surprising scene. It made me think back to my previous discussions of required construction documents. Also, find out if the contractor has liability insurance.
Required Construction Documents Part 3: Health and Safety Policy by Steven Silva
The Health and Safety Policy Statement is all that is required. It is a one page document (usually part of their whole Health and Safety Program which is many pages long).

Before I allow any contractor to work for me on a construction project here in Ontario, I require 3 Documents to be provided: Registration of Constructors (Form 1000), Copy of a WSIB clearance certificate, Copy of their Health and Safety Policy.

They also tended to be surprised when I would ask for a WSIB clearance certificate up front. Over the next three blogs I will discuss each one and why I think each one is so important.
