KENTUCKY starting radon certification

[gskeeters (George Skeeters, HI-3186)]

Went to a seminar yesterday concerning the July 1st implementation of radon certification (licensing). We must have 16 hours supervised training with a test, $500,000 general liability ins, $250 app fee and a QA program with quarterly reporting using only approved testing devices.
Initial investment of around $1200 not counting time to get in compliance.
Considering either complying or possibly outsourcing as either way we must provide this service to stay competitive.
Any comments from those who already have a similar requirement? Pros and cons of each avenue?

George,
Half a million dollar GL insurance to test for radon? That’s steep.

You are testing for radon, not digging a tunnel under their house.
