Massachusetts H5488 creates a database for tracking violations of hot work regulations.

Massachusetts H5488 amends Chapter 22 of the General Laws by adding a new section requiring the Department of Fire Services to collect data on written notices of code violations and fines related to hot work regulations. The data, including failures to maintain hot work training certification and performing hot work without certification, will be stored in a publicly accessible database on the department’s website. The database will also feature an automated notification system to alert affected property owners and insurance companies.
