This bill would require Massachusetts to track and publicly post hot work safety violations, such as doing welding or other spark-producing jobs without required training or permits. The state would build an online database and send alerts to affected property owners and insurance companies. This could help prevent fires and improve accountability, but may increase scrutiny and costs for contractors who break the rules.
