Small Cell & DAS Installation insurance in Connecticut
DAS and small cell crews deploying across Connecticut face unique exposures including RF during commissioning and property damage to utility poles and streetlights. Required for all employers with 1+ employees. Connecticut's Workers' Compensation Commission actively investigates non-compliance. The state has a no-fault system with relatively generous benefits, including cost-of-living adjustments on long-term disability. Proper coverage protects against the high frequency of urban installations.

Connecticut's proximity to New York City means many national turf vendors operate here with strict MSA requirements.
