| This mark, when
displayed by a contractor, indicates that
company’s
dedication to
protecting the safety and well-being of you and
your family. While it is rare that employees of
home service contractors are involved in crimes
against homeowners, it can and does happen.
How often have you opened
your door to a service repairman only to feel
extremely uncomfortable once he’s inside your
house?
It’s not something many
people think about until it’s too late, but
anyone who might feel uncomfortable at home
alone with a service technician deserves to be
safe from harm, including:
- women at home alone
or with small children during the day
- elderly homeowners
- disabled individuals
- anyone else who is
concerned about their personal safety and
the security of their home and their
belongings

You can
minimize
your risk
when hiring
a home
services
contractor
by going
with a
contractor
who displays
the
Technician
Seal of
Safety™. You
owe it to
yourself and
your family
to make sure
that you are
inviting
individuals
into your
home who
have been
screened by
a
pre-employment
background
check and
who are
tested for
illegal drug
use as
permitted by
law.
That’s why
the
Technician
Seal of
Safety™
symbol was
established:
to let you,
the
homeowner,
know at a
glance which
contractors
stand out
from the
crowd when
it comes to
protecting
the safety
of you and
your family.
Behind the
Technician
Seal of
Safety™
stands a
group of
home service
contractors
specializing
in:
-
heating
and
cooling
-
plumbing
-
electrical
-
roofing
services
Each of
these
companies
bearing the
Technician
Seal of
Safety™ is a
member of a
professional
contractor
organization
that
advocates
the use of
pre-employment
background
checks and
drug testing
as allowed
by law. Now,
many
contractors
in the home
services
business do
not bother
to practice
such
stringent
policies.
But that’s
what
distinguishes
these elite
contractors
from the
rest. When
you see the
Technician
Seal of
Safety™ you
know you’re
dealing with
a
professional
who cares
about your
personal
safety, the
safety of
your family,
and the
well-being
and security
of your
home.

Based on the unfortunate incident in Florida, five women legislators from the State of Georgia have sponsored a bill that would require employers to conduct criminal background checks on workers before they would be allowed to enter the home. The sponsors wrote the bill with women in mind, since women are more likely than men to be home alone for service calls. For more information on this law, Click Here.

While it is not our intent to scare anyone, we feel obligated to mention that on occasion employees of home service contractors do commit criminal acts against homeowners. For example:
- A Florida woman was killed by a registered sex offender who was performing duct cleaning in her home. If only the company hiring him would have performed a background check.
- In another instance, a service technician in the Minneapolis area was convicted on several counts for stealing from customers’ homes. Not the type of guy you want to let out of your site in your house.
- An unsuspecting housewife in Missouri hired a “Cheap Charlie” electrician only to have him call back two weeks later and make lewd remarks over the telephone. What if this guy had done more than just make telephone calls?
