Direct sellers, falls and WCB
Direct selling needs a licence, and a purchaser may cancel a direct sales contract within ten days of receiving a copy. Fall protection applies from 3 m above the nearest safe surface, and employers with one or more workers need workers compensation coverage, registering before they start operating.
