Do we need to check WSIB and liability insurance of contractor when the work is simple?

Hi Allen,

Any good reliable contractor will have proof of his Liability and WSIB and it shouldnt take much effort for them to prove it at all. As per your question for liability even if its for a small drywall job it always good to have in case.

I agree. You should have WSIB even for the smallest of jobs.

If he gets hurt on your property and is unable to work. He will have no choice but to go after your home insurance.

A contractor is not required to have wsib on himself but will need it for any workers he employs. He is required to have liability insurance and you can verify that by his insurance certificate. hope that helps you out. Over and out Jeff

You have the right to ask even if it's small job but sometimes people don't want too much stress for such small jobs

However as some other contractor mentioned, that the owner of the company it might not need a WSIB for himself

Easy to verify by just calling the number on papers and ask about the validity
