Welcome to Protection in a Website, the home of Protection in a Handbook and the Genesis Safety System.
Protection in a Handbook
In recent years legal burdens put upon Canadian homeowners to make sure everyone on their property is working in a safe way have drastically increased, usually to the point where most homeowners are unaware of their responsibilities. Hiring a contractor to work on your home makes you liable for violations of safety laws, laws that in all likeliness no one has told you about. To ask anyone to work on your property makes you subject to a myriad of safety regulations. Protection in a Handbook will help educate the homeowner and construction worker alike on how to be more safe on a residential work-site and what to be aware of in terms of legal liabilities. Assuming that you know what you need to know does not compare to having real knowledge of prevention or loss associated with workplace safety.
Genesis Safety System
Genesis Safety System (GSS) can be used as a replacement for a traditional scaffolding system in many construction scenarios. It is easier to install and use, lighter, and safer than traditional scaffolding systems. Both the basic design and modular nature of the Genesis Safety System make it much more versatile than traditional scaffolding. In fact it has been used on homes, apartment buildings and commericial construction. The Genesis Safety System placed third in the 2010 Best Big Idea Competition in Nova Scotia out of 118 competitors. All of these benefits and increased safety come with a reduced cost as compared to traditional scaffolding.

Why?
Should not contractors tell homeowners this information? Does the Government not make everyone aware of their responsibilities? Well, yes they should, but they choose not to keep you informed. Learn why the author of Protection in a Handbook thought the book needed to be written and watch the television appearance he made in order to bring attention to this subject.
