S 4528 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes safety measures for scrap metal businesses.

This bill requires all scrap metal businesses in New Jersey to implement specific safety measures. Businesses must conduct quarterly audits to ensure prohibited items are not stored on-site and must reduce fire risks by hiring trained fire suppression personnel or contracting with trained individuals. Additionally, businesses must install and maintain remotely operable on-site fire suppression systems, with a 5-year implementation deadline (starting 6 months after enactment). The law updates existing scrap metal regulations under P.L.2009, c.8, focusing on preventing fires and ensuring proper recordkeeping.
