Property owners and managers who hire or contract with individuals or firms for work regulated under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 130A-453.05 generally verify that those workers hold valid certifications issued under this Article. A compliant operator typically confirms that contractors have met the Commission's education, training, experience, examination, and fee requirements before work begins.
