Certifications

WHY CERTIFICATION?

Does certification really matter to us anymore and why do we need certifications in our everyday lives? To answer this question let’s ask ourselves, would you…

  • Eat a lunch at an eatery that serves non-USDA inspected meat?
  • Buy your family a car that the NHTSB gave a failing grade to?
  • Let your infant child sleep in a crib that isn’t certified to CPSC safety standards?
  • Place a heater in your home that is not UL certified?
  • Ride in an elevator that failed inspection or isn’t certified?
  • Would you fly on an airplane that hasn’t been inspected by the NTSB?
  • Would you trust your health to a doctor or dentist that’s not certified by the state board?
  • How about your prescription medications? Are they approved to FDA protocols?
  • Would you notify your employees that they are drinking water from a non-certified unit?
