An Act relative to fire safety
This bill updates Massachusetts fire safety laws regarding sprinkler system apprenticeships. It clarifies that "direct supervision" requires a journeyman or contractor to be physically present on-site with an apprentice, and changes the apprentice-to-journeyman ratio to one apprentice per licensed journeyman or contractor at each jobsite. The bill also replaces gendered pronouns (like "his" and "he") with gender-neutral terms ("their" and "they") throughout the relevant sections. These changes directly affect fire protection sprinkler contractors, journeyman fitters, and apprentices working on sprinkler systems. The bill focuses on clarifying existing requirements and updating language for inclusivity, not creating new safety standards.
