What type of insurance coverage does a contractor have?
A major issue facing the environmental industry today is insurance. Being listed in the telephone directory yellow pages under environmental or ecological services does not mean that a contractor is fully insured or even properly licensed. Both people and property need to be covered during the course of the job. Because of cost considerations, many contractors may have inadequate insurance, leaving the client open to possible liabilities. By requesting a certificate of insurance, a potential client can determine the contractor’s level of coverage.
