A vapor retarder or barrier is effective even if there are some holes or gaps, however an air barrier has to be absolute and complete. If air can leak through an electrical device or through a crack it follows the path of least resistance and carries 99%of the moisture in a structure.This is evident every time one exposes fiberglass insulation and finds black insulation,which is dirt filter out of the air moving through the insulation. 780 CMR R601.2 for vapor retarders and Table N1102.4.2 for air sealing requirements. 35.

Northampton Ordinances,State and Local-Zon'�- - Homeowner Signature-- Information and Instructions Massachusetts General Laws chapter 152 requires all employers to provide workers' compensation for their employees. Pursuant to this statute, an employee is defined as"...every person in the service of another under any contract of hire, express or implied, oral or written." An employer is defined as "an individual, partnership,association, corporation or other legal entity,or any two or more of the foregoing engaged in a joint enterprise, and including the legal representatives of a deceased employer, or the receiver or trustee of an individual, partnership, association or other legal entity,employing employees. However the owner of a dwelling house having not more than three apartments and who resides therein, or the occupant of the dwelling house of another who employs persons to do maintenance, construction or repair work on such dwelling house or on the grounds or building appurtenant thereto shall not because of such employment be deemed to be an employer." MGL chapter 152, §25C(6) also states that"every state or local licensing agency shall withhold the issuance or renewal of a license or permit to operate a business or to construct buildings in the commonwealth for any applicant who has not produced acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance coverage required." Additionally,MGL chapter 152, §25C(7)states"Neither the commonwealth nor any of its political subdivisions shall enter into any contract for the performance of public work until acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance requirements of this chapter have been presented to the contracting authority." Applicants Please fill out the workers' compensation affidavit completely, by checking the boxes that apply to your situation and, if necessary, supply sub-contractor(s) name(s), address(es) and phone number(s) along with their certificate(s) of insurance. Limited Liability Companies (LLC)or Limited Liability Partnerships(LLP)with no employees other than the members or partners, are not required to carry workers' compensation insurance. If an LLC or LLP does have employees, a policy is required. Be advised that this affidavit may be submitted to the Department of Industrial Accidents for confirmation of insurance coverage. Also be sure to sign and date the affidavit. The affidavit should be returned to the city or town that the application for the permit or license is being requested, not the Department of Industrial Accidents.

Self-insured companies should enter their self-insurance license number on the appropriate line. City or Town Officials Please be sure that the affidavit is complete and printed legibly. The Department has provided a space at the bottom of the affidavit for you to fill out in the event the Office of Investigations has to contact you regarding the applicant. Please be sure to fill in the permit/license number which will be used as a reference number. In addition,an applicant that must submit multiple permit/license applications in any given year, need only submit one affidavit indicating current policy information (if necessary) and under"Job Site Address"the applicant should write "all locations in (city or town)." A copy of the affidavit that has been officially stamped or marked by the city or town may be provided to the applicant as Proof that a valid affidavit is on file for future permits or licenses.
