Did you know?

• Bonded and insured does not mean a criminal background check has been performed on the workers.

• Many major service companies use subcontractors.  You may not be hiring who you think.

Basic Safety Suggestions:

• Hire C.A.U.S.E. Certified Businesses.

• If the company you are contacting is not C.A.U.S.E. Certified, ask them if they do pre-hiring criminal background checks. If not, don’t use them. Tell them why you will not be using their company and find one that does criminal background checks on all its’ service workers.
  
  
• It is always a good idea to have another adult in the house when any kind of service is to be done in or around your home. Invite a friend over for coffee.
  
  
• Your children are not protection. You are actually more vulnerable if you are alone with small children because your attacker might threaten you with the life of your child if you don’t do what he wants.

• Do not hesitate to say "No" if you do not feel safe when the worker arrives.
  
  
• Most important, BE AWARE & BE SAFE
