NAPSA CERTIFIED SWEEPING COMPANIES

About Certification

NAPSA has developed a formalized mechanism to recognize those firms operating in a professional manner and contributing to the overall image of the sweeping industry. Certification establishes a yard stick for customers to measure professional
practices. Outlining these practices aids in the fight against businesses that operat below the radar of ethical. legal and professional standards.

Certification is already providing the groundwork for future recognition of certification as a condition
of bidding or operating on some projects. In addition, certification has proven beneficial with creating a pool of companies that, by their practices, reduce insurance losses and therefore create the opportunity for premium savings.

Certification adds value to your association
membership. It also encourages continuing
education to improve the professionalism of the industry, and encourages experienced members to give back to the industry. Certification enhances
NAPSA’s ability to promote the association within the sweeping industry and to customers.
