The LILWA certification program was created to ensure that our member companies and their technicians are operating within the strict standards for safety professionalism and environmental issues as set forth by our organization. While LILWA certification is not currently a requirement for membership in the Association, we are actively pursuing our goal of achieving 100% voluntary certification. This would send an important message to the public as they could be sure that all our member companies are held to the highest standards in the industry.
