As a Hoosier health worker

To the economy of

Indiana

Call a licensed plumber; it’s the law

Requirements, training, more than just a slogan…

Establishes rules for training,

testing and licensing of plumbers

and apprentice plumbers.

Licensing helps ensure these

individuals are knowledgeable

and skilled and will build, install

and maintain plumbing in a

manner that complies with code.

The Value of the Indiana Plumbing License Law

Consumers need to know:

Licensing requires plumbers and

apprentices to carry a copy of their

license

Licensing requires anyone who holds

themselves out to be a plumber to

be licensed

Licensing relieves a purchaser from

paying for plumbing performed by

unlicensed or unregistered persons

The Value of the Indiana Plumbing License Law

Protecting the health of Hoosiers

What price do you place on your health?

Consumers need to know:

An unlicensed person performing plumbing work can cause a cross connection that can put themselves and the community they live in at risk of sickness, disease and potential criminal & civil proceedings against the perpetrator.

The Value of Protecting the Health of Hoosiers

Consumers need to know:

The Center for Disease Control has

documented 57 waterborne disease

outbreaks related to cross-

connections, resulting in 9,734 illnesses.

A Craun and Calderon report found that

30.3 percent of waterborne disease

outbreaks in community systems were

caused by contamination of water in the

distribution systems.

The Value of P-H-C Contractors to Indiana’s Economy

The p-h-c industry is part of every home, place of business, factory and school

The future is bright because:

The need for proper water and

waste facilities and environmental

systems grows daily.

These facilities and systems need to

be maintained to insure public

health and to maintain high

standards of living in Indiana.

The Value of the P-H-C industry to Indiana

Apprentice programs are run by the industry -- training individuals in a trade that cannot be outsourced and at no cost to the Indiana taxpayer.

An August 2012 study conducted by the U.S. Department of Labor showed that contractors who participate in a registered apprentice program typically earn almost a quarter-million dollars more than nonparticipants over the course of their careers.
