❑ Joints (including rim joist junctions), attic access openings, penetrations, and all other such openings in the building envelope that are
sources of air leakage are sealed with caulk, gasketed, weatherstripped or otherwise sealed with an air barrier material, suitable film or
solid material.
❑ Air barrier and sealing exists on common walls between dwelling units, on exterior walls behind tubs/showers, and in openings between
window/door jambs and framing.
Recessed lights in the building thermal envelope are 1) type IC rated and ASTM E283 labeled and 2) sealed with a gasket or caulk
between the housing and the interior wall or ceiling covering.
❑ Access doors separating conditioned from unconditioned space are weather-stripped and insulated (without insulation compression or
damage) to at least the level of insulation on the surrounding surfaces. Where loose fill insulation exists, a baffle or retainer is installed
to maintain insulation application.
❑ Wood -burning fireplaces have gasketed doors and outdoor combustion air.

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 -contractors) 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
