Spectrum Business's subcontractor agreements require specific insurance minimums. Here's what you need to be Spectrum Business-compliant and get on their approved vendor list.

Spectrum Business requires statutory Workers' Comp from all subcontractors. Required in all states where you perform Spectrum Business work. Protects your crew during aerial lashing, underground OSP, splicing, and drop installation.
