Construction: Liability In Workplace InjuryBy Sam K. Abdulaziz & Kenneth S. Grossbart, Abdulaziz, Grossbart & Rudman

Brannan slipped on wet scaffolding thereby inuring his back when, on his own accord be-cause he felt there was no other way to access this part of the jobsite, he attempted to climb over some of the scaffolding in order to get to the masonry work to be done underneath the scaffolding. Because the fall was at work and the scaffolding impaired access to the job site and was wet because of weather conditions, Brannan filed not only a workers’ compensa-tion claim, but also a complaint in the Superior Court alleging that Lathrop was negligent in its safety duties as well as premises liability.

Lathrop filed a Motion for Summary Judgment based on the Privette-Toland Doctrine and suc-ceeded. This Privette-Toland Doctrine indicates: “Generally, when employees of independent contractors are injured in the workplace, they cannot sue the party that hired the contractor to do the work...” Therefore, the direct contrac-tor is not liable for the injuries that occur to any subcontractor’s employees.

Since Brannan was an employee of a subcon-tractor (Bratton) Brannan was already cov-ered by the worker’s compensation insurance scheme. Because there was no evidence that Lathrop knew any of the masonry workers were climbing around the scaffolding or that there was any safety hazard at all and further that Lathrop did not actually direct Brannan to

The case of Brannan v. Lathrop Construction As-sociations, Inc. deals with the issue of workplace injury liability. On this particular project, Lath-rop Construction Associates, Inc. (“Lathrop”) was the direct contractor on a school construc-tion project. One of the subcontractors that Lathrop hired was Bratton Masonry (“Bratton”), for the masonry work. Bratton employed Brian Brannan (“Brannan”) as a journeyman bricklayer for this school construction project.

The subcontract between Lathrop and Bratton required Bratton to comply with all State and Federal Health and Safety requirements, both contractors’ safety procedures and to maintain a safety program on site. These requirements were true for all of Bratton’s subcontractors on this project. Lathrop’s onsite project manager was in charge of managing the safety on the site as well as coordination of the work. How-ever, Bratton had the right to stop work if safety was ever an issue.

As discussed between the parties, the plaster-ing was to be done before the masonry. Howev-er, some of the plastering scaffolding was left in place upon the request of some of the framers that were in need of framing a bridge between two buildings. Bratton never requested that the scaffolding be removed and continued its work around the scaffolding at ground level laying brick veneer in the area.

access the site in the manner that he did, the separate tort claim against the direct contrac-tor was also unsuccessful, since Brannan was not able to show that the prime contractor ac-tually contributed to his injury. The Appellate Court upheld the trial court’s decision to award the Summary Judgment to Lathrop.

BATTERY HANDLING SAFETY

Batteries are used to power our automobiles, trucks, tractors, and construction or power equipment. There are different types of batteries such as lead-acid batteries, gel cells, and lead-calcium batteries. Most batteries contain sulfuric acid and lead. Because batteries contain chemicals, chemical reaction by-products, and an electrical current they can pose a hazard to workers if not handled properly. Workers that operate, maintain, and recharge batteries should use caution.

Before working with a battery, you should have training in proper handling procedures. Consult the vehicle and battery owners’ manuals for specific instructions on battery handling and hazard identification. To avoid splashing acid in your face, wear personal protective equipment (PPE) such as chemical splash goggles and a face shield. Wear acid-resistant equipment such as gauntlet style gloves, an apron, and boots. Do not tuck your pant legs into your boots because spilled acid can form a pool in your boots.

Be aware of the chemical hazards posed by batteries. The sulfuric acid (electrolyte) in batteries is highly corrosive. Acid exposure can lead to skin irritation, eye damage, respiratory irritation, and tooth enamel erosion. Never lean over a battery while boosting, testing or charging it. In marine environments, do not allow the battery solution to mix with salt water; it can produce hazardous chlorine gas. If acid splashes on your skin or eyes, immediately flood the area with cool running water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention immediately.

Always practice good hygiene and wash your hands after handling a battery and before eating. If you handle the lead plates in a battery and don’t wash your hands properly, you could be exposed to lead. Signs of lead exposure include loss of appetite, diarrhea, constipation with cramping, difficulty sleeping, and fatigue.

The chemical reaction by-products from a battery include oxygen and hydrogen gas. These can be explosive at high levels. Overcharging batteries can also create flammable gases. For this reason, it is very important to store and maintain batteries in a well-ventilated work area away from all ignition sources and incompatible materials. Cigarettes, flames or sparks could cause a battery to explode.

Before working on a battery, disconnect the battery cables. To avoid sparking, always disconnect the negative battery cable first and reconnect it last. Be careful with flammable fluids when working on a battery-powered engine. The electrical voltage created by batteries can ignite flammable materials and cause severe burns. Workers have been injured and killed when loose or sparking battery connections ignited gasoline and solvent fumes during vehicle maintenance.

Battery maintenance tools should be covered with several layers of electrical tape to avoid sparking. Place protective rubber boots on battery cable connections to prevent sparking on impact if a tool does accidentally hit a terminal. Clean the battery terminals with a plastic brush because wire brushes could create static and sparks. Always remove your personal jewelry before working on a battery. A short-circuit current can weld a ring or bracelet to metal and cause severe burns.

Batteries can be very dense and heavy, so use proper lifting techniques to avoid back injuries. Battery casings can be brittle and break easily; they should be handled carefully to avoid an acid spill. Make sure that a battery is properly secured and upright in the vehicle or equipment. If a battery shows signs of damage to the terminals, case or cover, replace it with a new one. Finally, remember to dispose of old batteries properly.

LA SEGURIDAD EN EL MANEJO DE BATERÍAS

Las baterías se usan para alimentar automóviles, camiones, tractores, equipos de construcción y otros equipos eléctricos. Existen diferentes tipos de baterías, tales como plomo-ácido, gel-cell y baterías de plomo-calcio. La mayoría de las baterías contienen ácido sulfúrico y plomo. Debido a que las baterías contienen productos químicos, productos secundarios de sus reacciones químicas, así como corrientes eléctricas, pueden presentar un riesgo a los trabajadores si no se manejan correctamente. Los trabajadores que operen, den mantenimiento y recarguen las baterías deben tener cuidado.

Antes de trabajar con una batería, usted deberá haber recibido capacitación sobre los procedimientos de manejo correcto. Consulte el manual del propietario del vehículo y de la batería para obtener instrucciones específicas sobre el manejo de la batería y la identificación de los peligros que pueden surgir. Para evitar que le caiga ácido en la cara, use los equipos de protección personal, tales como gafas protectoras y una careta. Use equipos de protección resistentes al ácido, tales como guantes largos, un delantal y botas. No se meta los pantalones dentro de las botas porque si derrama ácido éste puede formar un charco dentro de las botas.

Esté consciente de los peligros químicos que presentan las baterías. El ácido sulfúrico (el electrolito) en las baterías es sumamente corrosivo. La exposición al ácido puede ocasionar irritación de la piel, daños a los ojos, irritación al sistema respiratorio y erosión del esmalte de los dientes. Nunca se incline sobre una batería mientras la refuerza, la prueba o la carga. En ambientes marinos, no permita que la solución de la batería se mezcle con agua de mar, ya que puede producir gas cloro que es venenoso. Si le salpica ácido a la piel o a los ojos, inmediatamente enjuague el área con bastante agua corriente durante al menos 15 minutos y busque atención médica de inmediato.

Siempre practique la buena higiene y lávese las manos después de tocar una batería y antes de comer. Si usted toca las placas de plomo de una batería y no se lava las manos debidamente, puede resultar expuesto al plomo. Los signos de exposición al plomo incluyen pérdida del apetito, diarrea, estreñimiento con dolor de vientre, dificultades al dormir y fatiga.

Los productos secundarios de las reacciones químicas que se producen en una batería incluyen oxígeno e hidrógeno en forma de gas, los cuales pueden ser explosivos en niveles altos. Cargar excesivamente una batería también puede formar gases inflamables. Por esta razón, es muy importante almacenar y dar mantenimiento a las baterías en un área de trabajo bien ventilada y alejada de fuentes de ignición y sustancias incompatibles. Los cigarrillos, las llamas o chispas pueden hacer que una batería explote.

Antes de trabajar en una batería, desconéctele los cables. Para evitar que se produzcan chispas, siempre desconecte el borne negativo de la batería primero y conéctelo el último. Tenga cuidado con los líquidos inflamables cuando trabaje con motores que reciben alimentación de baterías. El voltaje eléctrico que crea una batería puede incendiar materiales inflamables y ocasionar quemaduras graves. Trabajadores han resultado lesionados o muertos cuando conexiones flojas de una batería o las chispas producidas han incendiado vapores de gasolina o solventes durante operaciones de mantenimiento.

Las herramientas de mantenimiento para baterías deberán estar cubiertas con varias capas de cinta electroaislante para evitar causar chispas. Coloque cubiertas protectoras de hule sobre las conexiones de los bornes de la batería para evitar que se produzcan chispas por impacto si alguna herramienta toca el borne. Limpie los bornes de la batería con un cepillo plástico, ya que los cepillos metálicos pueden crear electricidad estática y chispas. Siempre quítese los artículos de joyería personal antes de trabajar en una batería. Una corriente de corto circuito puede soldar un anillo o brazalete al metal y ocasionar quemaduras graves.

Las baterías pueden ser muy densas y pesadas, por eso se deben usar las técnicas correctas para levantarlas, evitando así lesiones a la espalda. El cuerpo de la batería puede ser quebradizo y romperse con facilidad; deben manejarse con cuidado para evitar derrames de ácido. Asegúrese de que la batería esté bien sujeta y en posición vertical en el vehículo o equipo. Si la batería muestra indicios de daños a los bornes, a la caja o a la cubierta, reemplácela con una nueva. Finalmente, recuerde deshacerse correctamente de las baterías viejas.

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

We polished a couple of seats at the latest Con-tractors State License Board Committee meet-ing on behalf of contractors out there getting the real work done. At the latest get together of decision-makers it was recommended that ‘ret-roactive’ fingerprinting be rubbed out; an hour added to the exam clock and the notion of ‘con-tinuing education’ flunked! These and other im-portant issues and a reminder that your chance to speak directly to the Board is coming up. We begin with a ‘good news/bad news’ statistic…

The number of license applications filed by con-tractors continues to decrease on a year-to-year basis. There has roughly been a 40% decline in the number of applications received by the CSLB over the past 6 years. The decrease for total ap-plications received for FY 2011-12 alone, as com-pared with 2010-11, is down 14%.

These and other topics were discussed at the Contractor Board’s Licensing Committee meet-ing in Sacramento on August 28th. One benefit however, of the application decrease, is process-ing times. On average, most applications are currently processed in 2 to 3 weeks from the day they’re received at CSLB headquarters.

One thing that hasn’t changed much over the past 30 years is the number of applications re-jected due to errors in completing the forms. It was reported that, on average, 45% of all ap-plications (Original License, adding a class or

replacing the Qualifier) are returned for correc-tions. Just as trained professionals often com-plete state tax forms, successfully preparing con-tractor license applications may require input from an expert to reduce the chance of it being rejected. This is especially true when time is of the essence in obtaining your number.

Those who are required to sit for a test may be happy to learn that starting immediately, you’ll be given an extra hour to complete the exam process. Applicants will now have 3 ½ hours to finish. The Testing Division update also specified that the wait time for an exam is three weeks statewide and that “on any given day, walk-in applicants have an excellent chance of finding an available seat” in one of the 8 CSLB testing centers.

The Licensing Committee discussed several policy recommendations. One involved “retro-active” fingerprinting while a second dealt with continuing education requirements for all exist-ing contractors. In both cases, after careful study and consideration, the Committee adopted the recommended staff position to NOT require ei-ther.

Legislation to require all contractors to be fin-gerprinted was introduced in 2009 but failed to pass. Since fingerprints were first required in 2005, approximately 40% of current licensees have been required to submit prints when ap-

plying for a new license or modifying an existing license (such as a change in qualifying individual or additional class). This proposal would have required ALL existing licensees (even some who have been licensed for more than 50 years) to submit a set of fingerprints to the CSLB. It was determined that for a host of reasons, it was very impractical to adopt this requirement.

Continuing Education (CE) requirements have been discussed off and on for decades. It was determined that since there is “no identified problem with the construction industry that CE would address, and due to the significant cost impact of such a requirement on licensees and the Board, (the) CSLB cannot support a CE re-quirement”.

All the above items will be discussed and voted on by the FULL CSLB at their 1:30pm meeting in Sacramento on September 11th. The meeting is open to the public and contractors are urged to attend. Many other topics including potential legislation, and updates on various enforcement actions will also be discussed. At the beginning of each CSLB meeting, members of the public may address the Board on any topic.

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.
