34:15B-42 Findings, declarations relative to precautions in sign fabrication.
3. The Legislature finds and declares that:
a. The general public is subject to serious safety risks when manufacturers and other facilities engaged in the fabrication of signs for governmental, commercial or other applications produce deficient, defective or otherwise unsafe signs.
b. Research from both government and industry sources reflects the widespread recognition that registered apprenticeship programs are an extremely effective mechanism for ensuring the development of a workforce that is properly trained and appropriately equipped with necessary skills and safety knowledge in their applicable craft.
c. The threat to public safety for the use of inferior or defective fabricated signs can be lessened by requiring that manufacturers of these products adhere to great safety and quality control requirements and ensure their manual workforce receives proper skill and safety training.
