Subject: Support HB 2407, An Act Relative to Floor Finishing Products
Representative Robert A. DeLeo
Chairs, House Ways and Means Committee
Room 243
State House
Boston, MA 02133
Dear Chairman DeLeo:
I am writing to express my strong support for HB 2407, an act relative to floor finishing products, and request that you move this bill through the House Ways and Means committee as quickly as possible. This proposed legislation takes a pragmatic approach to the widespread problem of fires in the floor finishing industry caused by the combustion of highly flammable floor products. Passing this bill will save lives and protect the property of homeowners across the Commonwealth.
Numerous fires erupt each year in the Commonwealth as a result of the combustion of refinishing and sealing chemicals commonly used in the floor finishing industry. Three floor sanders have lost their lives, several suffered severe burns and countless homes have been destroyed. Floor finishing fires that took place in Boston alone since 1995 have resulted in a property loss value of over 1.5 million dollars and continue to present enormous risks to workers and building occupants.
This bill is universally supported by floor finishing contractors and distributors as well as labor, worker safety and fire prevention professionals. Those in the floor finishing industry have given this bill its support because they are well aware of the deadly costs of continued use of these products and passing a law preventing its use would level the playing field for all contractors.
It is time for Massachusetts to be proactive in protecting homeowners, building occupants, workers and firefighters from the risk of fire from the combustion of floor finishing products. Again, I ask that you grant this proposed legislation a favorable report and pass this bill this session.
Sincerely,
