- The owner or manager of your company, and each employee, must complete the $155 OSHA Training Course, found at this LINK.

How Much Does Membership Cost?
Running any type of a program takes time and resources. This site alone for example, costs hundreds of dollars a month to maintain and operate. That said, membership is basically free. Unless you want increased exposure through our member’s directory, it cost nothing to join our team portal and have a basic listing in our directory. This may change with or without notice at some point in the future and we reserve the right to make changes as required to facilitate the continued growth and operation of ERCA.
- FREE LISTING – Requires ERCA membership. Completely Free!!
- GOLD LISTING – Requires ERCA membership. Costs $295 per year. Offers many more features and benefits than the free listing package.
Free to all ERCA Members who have completed our training requirements. Access to our team site does not require the submission of supporting documents (e.g. articles of incorporation or certificate of insurance).
Business support is available to all ERCA members for $39.95 per month. More information about this package can be found at ERCA Business Support
Business Leads are available to most members of ERCA for $34.95 per month. More information about this package can be found at ERCA Business Leads. To receive business leads, we will need your proof of business (e.g. articles of incorporation) and a certificate of insurance (COI) on file.
Why do You Need My Business Documents?
Likewise, it’s not uncommon for clients and/or individuals to request a copy of your certificate of insurance (COI). This is a standard business practice.
If our company is going to promote your company and provide you with business leads, we want to make sure that we’re recommending a viable, legitimate and properly insured business entity. Thank you for your understanding!
