What insurance must Service Registration holders maintain?

• A. Professional liability insurance.
• B. General liability insurance.
• C. No insurance required.
• D. Workers' compensation only.

Answer: (B)

General liability insurance is the coverage service registration holders must maintain because it protects clients and the public from claims arising from the service work, such as property damage or bodily injury that could occur during pesticide application or related activities. This type of insurance covers the costs of claims, legal defense, and settlements up to the policy limits, which is precisely the protection clients expect when someone provides service on their property. Professional liability focuses on errors or omissions in specialized professional advice, which isn’t the typical exposure for a service registration holder performing field work. Workers’ compensation covers injuries to employees on the job, but it doesn’t address third-party claims from the work itself, so it doesn’t fulfill the requirement for third-party protection.
