Overview
This bill aims to improve safety at scrap metal businesses in New Jersey by requiring them to implement fire prevention measures. Specifically, businesses must install heat detection equipment, create fire safety plans, and limit the height of combustible material piles. For larger operations with shredder stockpiles, a remote-operated fire suppression system is mandated to prevent flash fires. The bill also requires local enforcement agencies to review and approve safety plans and allows the Commissioner of Community Affairs to create detailed regulations.
