    Making it home safe by Jennifer Lee, Calgary Sun
    “We want to educate our customers and make them aware of the hazards of a job site,” says Gladney, adding home construction sites are a pitfall of potential accidents, with open holes and heavy-duty machinery part of the construction scene. “We present our homebuyers with a site visit agreement form and educate them on the hazards of the job site.”

    For example, visiting a homesite late in the day can lead to dire consequences — without power or light, it’s easy to miss open holes.

    “It’s safer to visit the home after the lock-up stage, where you can get the house key from our sales centre, which will provide you with hard hats, safety vests and steel-toe caps,” says Gladney.
