[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Commissioners (now the
Council) of the City of Perth Amboy 4-19-44 as Ord.
No. C-318. Section 238-7 amended at time of adoption
of Code; see Ch. 1, General Provisions. Other amendments noted where
applicable.]
No person, persons, firm, partnership or corporation shall carry
out or cause to be carried out any fumigation by any dangerous or
poisonous gas within the corporate limits of the City of Perth Amboy
unless such person, persons, firm, partnership or corporation shall
previously have obtained a permit from the Health Officer of the City
of Perth Amboy.
For the purpose of this chapter, the terms used herein are defined
as follows:
Includes any substance which by itself or in combination
with any other substance emits or liberates a gas, fume or vapor used
for the destruction or control of insects, fungi, vermin, rodents
or other pests, and shall be distinguished from insecticides and disinfectants
which are essentially effective in the solid or liquid phases.
Includes corporations and copartnerships as well as individuals.
There shall be five (5) types of certificates as follows:
A.
A fumigant certificate entitles the holder to engage in the business of fumigation as provided in § 238-1.
B.
An owner fumigant operator certificate entitles the holder thereof
to engage as an operator in the active work of fumigation.
C.
An employee fumigant operator certificate entitles the holder to
engage as an operator in the active work of fumigation.
D.
An apprentice certificate entitles the holder to work only with and
under the constant supervision of the holder of either an owner fumigant
operator certificate or employee fumigant operator certificate. Such
apprentice certificate shall expire six (6) months after date of issuance
unless renewed or employment is sooner terminated or the certificate
is otherwise revoked by the Division of Health.
E.
An exemption certificate entitles the holder to use fumigants on
its own premises in connection with its own goods, wares and merchandise
contained therein; provided, however, that such fumigation shall be
carried out only by the holder of an employee fumigant operator certificate.
No person holding an employee fumigant operator certificate
shall engage in the occupation of fumigation except in the course
of employment on behalf of a holder of a fumigant certificate or exemption
certificate.
A.
The Health Officer of the City of Perth Amboy is authorized to make
all rules and regulations concerning the conduct and procedure to
be followed in fumigation, and the said rules and regulations shall
be a part of this chapter the same as if they were incorporated herein,
and any violations of the said rules and regulations shall be punished
according to the manner specified in this chapter.
B.
When in the opinion of the Health Officer a fumigation can be carried
out safely, he shall issue permits for each specific job to the holders
of the proper certificates.
The person, persons, firm, partnership or corporation violating
the provisions of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be
liable to a penalty of not more than five hundred dollars ($500) or
not more than ninety (90) days in jail, for each and every offense.
This chapter shall not apply to fumigations in greenhouses,
mushroom houses or to horticultural or farm fumigation or to fumigations
performed in connection with the official duties of officers or employees
of the United States Public Health Service or employees of the United
States Bureau of Biological Survey, as well as employees of the Department
of Health of the State of New Jersey and employees of the local Division
of Health.
