Its the Employee liability thats the big deal here.
The nawc is not a trade association as I looked into that and theres lots of bureaucracy involved, which means the members have to pay more.
The nawc is a business (hence nawc.biz) in the same way that my window cleaning round is a business.
The cost of joining is set low to reflect my low costs and the benefits of joining are real see the website
http://www.nawc.bizI'm afraid it's for wfp only as that's low risk so low EL premiums

We both know you can break an ankle just coming off the bottom rung of a pointer
Ladders = risks = high premiums.
Its all about making a choice. You can use a ladder and take a risk (Ok its a small one but still a risk) or use an extension pole or a wfp and be safe.
I haven't met a single customer yet who insists I clean every window no matter how risky, especially when I explain the insurance aspect.
Even doing insides I use extension pole.
