Safety Belts
The City of Waltham has an utmost concern for the safety of its employees. According to Massachusetts General Laws, Chapter 90, Section 13A, "no person shall operate a private passenger motor vehicle or ride in a private passenger motor vehicle, a vanpool vehicle or truck under eighteen thousand pounds in any way unless such person is wearing a safety belt which is properly adjusted and fastened."  Because it's law, we require the use of seat belts in city-owned vehicles.  For a copy of MG Chapter 90; Section 13A please visit http://www.state.ma.us/legis/laws/mgl/90-13A.htm
