Ah... dmattox, you got there while I was ranting.
I have asked around with Inspectors in SF. They have niether the time or money to even think about it.
And when I asked Jeanie Kaatz at the DAS, her reply was "insurablity". So whats that mean I asked, "Without Certification, your insurance company won't cover you.", and she left it at that.
FYI: the DIR runs the DAS, and workmens comp' regulations, but I haven't heard of any change in the works yet.
