New Rules For Preventing Heat Illnesses“As employers we have to train our employees about heat illness, what we’re doing on our worksite to pre-vent it, and how to respond in an emergency. It’s worth it in the end to make sure everyone is well-pre-pared”– construction contractor

Cal OSHA adopted a heat illness prevention regulation to prevent heat-related illnesses and deaths. It includes training, temperature moni-toring, rest periods, and access to shade, all important factors you need to know to prevent heat-related illnesses.

Employers must evaluate outdoor working loca-tion for air temperature, humidity, and radiant heat from the sun to see if there is a risk for heat illnesses. Employers must also evaluate work-load, the protective clothing employees are re-quired to wear, and the personal protective gear used to see how they add to the risk.

Preventing Heat-Related Illnesses

When the body heats up faster than it can cool itself, mild to severe illnesses may develop. It’s important to recognize the symptoms of heat-related illnesses and understand how to pre-vent, control and respond to their effects. Air temperature, humidity and clothing can

increase the risk of developing heat-related ill-nesses. So can age, sex, weight, physical fitness, nutrition, alcohol or drug use, or pre-existing diseases like diabetes.

How can you prevent or control heat-related ill-nesses?

Drink water - Drink small amounts of water •frequently, about a cup every 15-20 min-utes. (Alcohol increases the loss of body fluids.)Limit exposure time and/or temperature - •Try to schedule hot jobs for cooler times of the day or cooler seasons of the year. Take rest breaks in cool areas. Add more workers to reduce workload or reduce the workday.Acclimatization - Gradually adapting to •heat will reduce the severity of heat stress.Engineering controls - Mechanize heavy •jobs or increase air movement with fans or coolers.Wearing loose, lightweight clothing - Cloth-•ing can affect heat buildup.Salt tablets should not be used - Taking •salt tablets can raise blood pressure, cause stomach ulcers, and seriously affect work-ers with heart disease.

Someone with a mild reaction to heat may have a rash called “prickly heat” or painful muscle spasms, called heat cramps, during or after ac-tivity. A mild reaction may also include fatigue or dizziness. You may notice a change in physi-

• suficiente agua fresca

• un área de sombra para descansar – por lo menos 5 minutos, cada vez que lo necesiten para refrescarse

• un plazo de tiempo para acostumbrarse al calor

• capacitación sobre las enfermedades por calor, maneras de prevenirlas y qué hacer si alguien tiene síntomas

• Un plan de emergencia

To avoid heat illness, EMPLOYERS MUST PROVIDE

This is required by California’s Heat Illness Prevention Standard (GISO 3395).

• Plenty of cool, fresh water

• Shade to rest and cool down– at least 5 minutes at a time as needed

• A period of time to get used to working in the heat

• Training on heat illness, how to prevent it and what to do if someone has symptoms

• A plan for emergencies

Estos son los requisitos de la norma de “Prevención de las Enfermedades por Calor” (GISO 3395).

GIVE JACKS, LIFTS, AND HOISTS THE HIGH SAFETY PRIORITY THEY DESERVE

Each year serious injuries and deaths occur in the workplace as a result of unsafe jack, stands, lifts, and hoist use. Although safety

responsibility for these devices must be shared between employer and employee, the ultimate responsibility for safety lies with the individual

worker. Even where there is close supervision, the worker makes the final decision on how to do the job.

Jacks

Workers must select a jack with the rated lifting capacity that equals or exceeds the load it will support. Jacks must be placed on a firm,

level surface perpendicular to the load in order to work efficientially. If the jack slips out from under a load, workers may not have enough

time to get out of the way, so adjustable stands or other substantial support should also be placed underneath the load so that it will not fall

if the jack slips or fails. It should be clear to workers, that they should never enter beneath or work under a load that is supported only by

jacks. If a jack is bent or defective, it should be tagged and removed from service.

Hoists

Only workers who have been trained in the proper use of hoists should be allowed to operate them. The lifting capacity of the hoist must be

clearly marked and visible to the operator and cage-controlled hoists must be equipped with an effective warning devices. Before operation,

operators should check that the hoist chains or ropes are of sufficient strength and length to safely lift or otherwise handle the load. On a

chain hoist, they should make sure the hook has a safety clip so that if the chain is given slack the hook won’t come loose. The oil level on

hydraulic hoists should also be periodically checked. Operators should understand that they are prohibited from carrying loads over people

and any hoist malfunction should be reported to their supervisor immediately.

Lifts

Lifts should be marked with the name of the manufacturer, the approval number issued by the Division of Industrial Safety or statement of

compliance with ANSI B153.1-1974 (or if manufactured after 8/17/94, compliance with ANSI B153.1-1990), and date of installation. No one

should be inside a vehicle that will be lifted and for their safety, workers should stand to one side as the lift operates, making sure the doors,

hood, and trunk of the vehicle are closed before the lift. The load should rest squarely on the lift and not overload the lift’s capacity. The floor

under the lift should be free of oil or grease to prevent slipping hazards. Oil levels on hydraulic lifts should be checked periodically and lifts

removed from service if there are any indications of malfunctioning.

Many accidents don’t just happen, they’re caused by unsafe work practices or taking chances. Give jacks, stands, lifts, and hoists the high

safety priority they deserve.

DÉ A LOS GATOS HIDRÁULICOS, A LOS ELEVADORES Y A LOS GUINCHES LA ALTA PRIORIDAD DE SEGURIDAD QUE ELLOS SE MERECEN

Cada año, ocurren lesiones graves y muertes en los lugares de trabajo como resultado del uso inseguro de gatos hidráulicos, pedestales, elevadores y guinches. No obstante que la responsabilidad de seguridad por estos dispositivos debe compartirse entre el empleador y el empleado, la responsabilidad final por la seguridad radica en el trabajador individual. Incluso donde exista supervisión estrecha, el trabajador es quien tiene la última palabra sobre cómo ejecutar el trabajo.

Gatos hidráulicos Los trabajadores deben seleccionar un gato hidráulico con una capacidad nominal de elevación que equivalga o exceda la carga que soportará. A fin de funcionar eficientemente, los gatos hidráulicos deben colocarse sobre una superficie firme, a nivel y perpendicular a la carga. Si el gato hidráulico se desliza bajo la acción de una carga, los trabajadores quizá no tengan suficiente tiempo para apartarse, por esa razón es necesario colocar pedestales ajustables u otro tipo de soportes sustanciales debajo de la carga para que ésta no caiga si el gato hidráulico se desliza o falla. Los trabajadores deben entender con claridad que nunca deben colocarse o trabajar debajo de una carga que esté soportada solamente por gatos hidráulicos. Si el gato hidráulico está doblado o defectuoso, deberá etiquetarse y ponerse fuera de servicio.

Guinches Sólo los trabajadores con capacitación en el uso apropiado de guinches deben estar autorizados para operarlos. La capacidad de izado del guinche debe estar claramente marcada y ser visible para el operador y los guinches controlados desde la jaula deben estar equipados con dispositivos eficaces de advertencia. Antes de accionar el guinche, los operadores deben verificar que las cadenas o los cables del guinche tengan la suficiente longitud y resistencia para izar o de otra manera manejar la carga de manera segura. En un guinche de cadena, es necesario asegurarse que el gancho tenga un dispositivo de seguridad de manera que si se le da holgura a la cadena el gancho no se soltará. También debe inspeccionarse periódicamente el nivel de aceite en los guinches hidráulicos. Los operadores deben entender que les está prohibido transportar cargas sobre las personas y que deben informar a su supervisor la presencia de cualquier desperfecto del guinche.

Elevadores Los elevadores deben estar marcados con el nombre del fabricante, el número de aprobación emitido por la División de Seguridad Industrial o la declaración de cumplimiento con las normas ANSI B153.1-1974 (o si hubiera sido fabricado después del 8/17/94, el cumplimiento con la norma ANSI B153.1-1990), y la fecha de instalación. Nadie debe estar en el interior de un vehículo que se elevará y para su propia seguridad, los trabajadores deben pararse a un lado del elevador mientras esté funcionando, y deberán asegurarse que las puertas, el capó y el baúl del vehículo estén cerrados antes de elevarlo. La carga debe estar apoyada uniformemente en el elevador y no deberá sobrecargarse la capacidad del elevador. El piso debajo del elevador debe estar exento de aceite o grasa para prevenir peligros de resbaladuras. Es necesario verificar periódicamente los niveles de aceite en los elevadores hidráulicos y deberá ponerse fuera de servicio a los elevadores si existe alguna indicación de desperfectos.

Muchos accidentes no ocurren porque sí, ellos son el resultado de prácticas inseguras de trabajo o de riesgos innecesarios. Dé a los gatos hidráulicos, a los pedestales, a los elevadores y a los guinches la alta prioridad de seguridad que ellos se merecen.

Kalb’s Capitol Connection Q & A for ContractorsBy David Kalb & Shauna Krause, Capitol Services, Inc.

A contractor with a California license look-ing over the borderlines for business discovers things aren’t always as simple as rumored but having good tools makes the job easier. Another contractor walks a fine line to stay out of ‘hot water’ in Nevada, but we begin with a contractor who must make some ‘true’ or false choices…

Q: I need your help with a Nevada License to install boilers. I am currently a licensed HVAC (“C-20”) contractor in CA. From doing a little re-search, I have found that the equivalent classifi-cation is a “C-21” in Nevada. However, I’ve been speaking with an inspector in Nevada who tells me that I cannot install boilers with the “C-21” class and that I would need to also obtain a “C-1a” (Boilers) license. Is that true?

A: Thanks for your question. If you’re installing boilers for the purpose of heating, or raising a room’s temperature, then the “C-21” will cover you. The statute reads: “The installation, repair, service and maintenance of equipment, devices, machinery, units and related ductwork which use evaporation, refrigeration, boilers or combustion for the control of air temperatures in structures where people live, work or assemble....”

Q: I work for a large company that has several

sister companies. I am currently the Qualifier on my company’s “B” (General Building) license in AZ. My company has requested that I become the Qualifier on our sister company’s Arizona li-cense which is a “C-30” (Finish carpentry). Can I do that and if so, will I be able to waive the exam since I have a General Building license?

A: First of all, Arizona will only allow you to be on more than one license at the same time if one of the following is true: (a) You (the Qualifier) own at least 25% of each company that you are licens-ing, or (b) One licensee owns at least 25% of the other licensee. The fact that the two companies have the same parent company is not enough to satisfy the requirement. Secondly, you will be re-quired to take the “C-30” exam, even though you currently hold a ‘B’ license.

Q: I’m an electrical contractor and I have a li-cense here in CA. One of my customers has requested that I do some work for them in the Tahoe area. My understanding is that there’s a reciprocal agreement between CA and NV that allows me to work in NV if I have a license in CA. Is there anything else I need to do to start work, such as obtaining a business license?

A: While many contractors believe that the re-

ciprocal agreement between California, Nevada, Arizona, and Utah allows them to use one license in any of those four States, it isn’t quite that sim-ple. When doing work in another State, you’re required to obtain a license specific to that State. The agreement generally allows you to qualify for a trade waiver, if you have been licensed for 5 out of the last 7 years in one of these recipro-cal States. You’re still required to take and pass the Management exam and go through their application process. Unfortunately not all clas-sifications are reciprocal. For instance, Nevada and California do not reciprocate for Electrical, Plumbing, or Fire Protection. So as an Electrical contractor you would be required to take the trade exams and show the necessary experience qualification. Reciprocity is a great opportunity for contractors but like all ‘tools’ does require some effort to make it work.

Because all four referenced States have different requirements, please contact each state directly or contact Capitol Services for an assessment of your specific contractor’s licensing situation.

cal or mental performance and an increase in accidents. A person with a moderate reaction or heat exhaustion, will have some or all of the following symptoms: excessive sweating, cold, moist, pale or flushed skin, thirst, extreme weak-ness or fatigue, headache, nausea, lack of appe-tite, rapid weak pulse, or giddiness and if not properly treated, the victim may collapse. Anyone with mild or moderate symptoms should be moved to a cool, shaded place with circulating air. They should lie down and, if con-scious, be given small sips of cool water at fre-quent intervals. If symptoms continue, a doctor should be called. In severe cases of heat illness, a heat stroke may result. The victim’s face is flushed red and their skin is hot and dry with no sweating. They develop a severe headache with deep, rapid breathing. They have a very high fever and may become delirious. They may become uncon-

scious, have convulsions, or lapse into a coma. This condition is fatal unless emergency medi-cal treatment is obtained. Immediately call for medical help. In the meantime, get them out of the hot environment. Loosen clothing and pour water over the entire body. Get air circulating around the body. Recognizing the warning signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses and using preventive and control measures can reduce the frequen-cy and severity of heat illness while increasing worker productivity.

Unlicensed Operators

Like legitimate contractors, unlicensed operators sometimes use advertising to find new clients. Ads without license numbers or with numbers that are not issued by the CSLB are frequently used by the Board to identify sting targets.

The CSLB and other enforcement agencies use two sections of the law—B&P Sections 7027.1 and 7099.10—to take legal action against unlicensed contractors and, on occasion, against licensed contractors who advertise illegally.

If an unlicensed operator advertises as a contractor in a telephone directory, and if an investigation determines the entity doing the advertising is unlicensed, under B&P Section 7099.10 (a), the Registrar can issue a citation for a fine or other civil penalty assessment. The citation will also include an order of correction that requires:

any phone number in the unlawful ad and to not refer subsequent calls to any new number obtained by that person. If the order of correction isn’t made, the Registrar can have the Public Utilities Commission disconnect the phone service.

If you believe that an unlicensed contractor is actively working on a construction project, contact the CSLB at 1-800-321-CSLB (2752) or fill out a “SWIFT Lead Referral” form, which is available on the CSLB Web site, www.cslb.ca.gov.
