DIESEL EXHAUST

What is Diesel Exhaust? The diesel engines in automobiles, buses, and trucks produce exhaust from the combustion of diesel fuel. Diesel exhaust is made up of harmful chemicals including very small toxic particles and hazardous gases. Some of the hazardous gases in diesel exhaust (e.g. nitrogen oxides, benzene, sulfur dioxide and formaldehyde) have been found to possibly cause cancer.

Health Hazards of Diesel Exhaust Breathing diesel exhaust is the most common method of exposure. As we breathe, the fine particles and toxic gases in diesel exhaust can enter into the lungs. Being exposed to diesel exhaust for short periods of time may cause headaches, nausea, chest tightness, wheezing, cough and irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat.

Exposure to diesel exhaust over long periods of time (usually years) may increase the chances of getting cancer. Those workers who already have respiratory illnesses, such as bronchitis, emphysema and/or asthma, may be adversely affected if they are exposed to long-term, or chronic exposure to diesel exhaust.

Who is at Risk? Workers most likely to be exposed to diesel exhaust include bridge, tunnel, and loading dock workers, truck and bus maintenance garage workers, miners, toll booth collectors, truck and forklift drivers, and material handling machine operators.

Methods of Control of Diesel Exhaust Substitution Where possible, replace diesel engines with propane engines. Propane burns more completely with fewer emissions than diesel fuel. However, it is important to ensure there is adequate ventilation when using any combustion engine (diesel or propane) indoors, such as in warehouses or garages. Breathing harmful levels of combustion gases, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen oxides can be harmful to your health.

Ventilation If you cannot replace your diesel engine, diesel exhaust can be removed by using local exhaust ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation should include both intake and exhaust fans that remove diesel exhaust at its source. General ventilation air movement by opening doors, windows, roof vents, roof fans and floor fans is helpful, but not as effective as local exhaust ventilation.

Safe Work Practices Some possible methods to reduce and/or minimize diesel exhaust emissions are:

When diesel equipment is not in use, the engine should not be allowed to idle.

Diesel equipment should be turned off and restarted as needed.

Enforce diesel equipment (bus, truck, etc) idling restrictions.

Check all ventilation systems to ensure proper functioning.

Conduct routine maintenance of engines to minimize emissions.

Diesel equipment that is producing visible, smoky exhaust should be removed from service until the condition has been corrected. · Vehicles should be fitted with emission controls (e.g. collectors, air cleaners, ceramic particle traps, etc.).

Emissions controls should be checked regularly and replaced when necessary.

ESCAPES DE MOTORES DIESEL

¿Qué es el escape de motores Diesel? Los motores Diesel en automóviles, autobuses y camiones, producen gases de escapes resultantes de la combustión del combustible Diesel. Los gases de escape de los motores Diesel contienen sustancias químicas nocivas, incluyendo partículas tóxicas muy pequeñas y gases peligrosos. Se ha descubierto que algunos de los gases peligrosos contenidos en el escape Diesel (por ejemplo, óxidos de nitrógeno, benceno, bióxido de azufre y formaldehído) pueden producir el cáncer.

Los peligros a la salud del escape Diesel El respirar los gases de escape Diesel es el método más común de exposición. Según respiramos, las pequeñas partículas y los gases tóxicos del Diesel nos pueden entrar a los pulmones. El estar expuesto a los gases de escape Diesel durante períodos de tiempo cortos puede ocasionar dolor de cabeza, náusea, presión en el pecho, resuello al respirar, tos e irritación de los ojos, la nariz y la garganta. El estar expuesto a los gases de escape Diesel durante períodos de tiempo largos (generalmente años) puede aumentar la probabilidad de contraer cáncer. Los trabajadores que sufran de enfermedades del sistema respiratorio, tales como bronquitis, enfisema y/o asma, pueden sufrir efectos adversos si están expuestos a largo plazo o de forma crónica al escape Diesel.

¿Quién sufre riesgos? Los trabajadores con mayor probabilidad de estar expuestos a los gases de escape Diesel incluyen trabajadores en puentes, túneles y plataformas de carga, trabajadores en garajes de mantenimiento de camiones y autobuses, mineros, recolectores de peajes, conductores de camiones y montacargas, y operadores de máquinas para manejo de materiales.

Métodos de control de los gases de escape Diesel Substitución Cuando sea posible, los motores Diesel se deben sustituir con motores de propano. El propano quema con menos emisiones nocivas que el combustible Diesel. Sin embargo, es importante asegurar que haya una ventilación adecuada cuando se utilizan motores de combustión interna de cualquier tipo (Diesel o propano) bajo techo, tal como en almacenes o garajes. El respirar niveles nocivos de gases de escape, tales como monóxido de carbono, bióxido de carbono, y óxidos de nitrógeno puede ser nocivo a la salud.

Ventilación Si no se pueden reemplazar los motores Diesel, se pueden eliminar sus gases de escape usando ventilación local de extracción. La ventilación local de extracción debe usar tanto ventiladores de suministro como de extracción para extraer los gases de escape Diesel donde se producen. La ventilación general de movimiento de aire (por medio de la abertura de las puertas y las ventanas, conductos de ventilación en el techo, ventiladores en el techo y ventiladores de piso) es útil, pero no es tan efectiva como la ventilación local de extracción.

Prácticas seguras de trabajo Algunos métodos de posible adopción para reducir y/o minimizar las emisiones de gases de escape Diesel son:

Cuando los equipos Diesel no estén en uso, el motor no se debe dejar en marcha.

Los equipos con motores Diesel se deben apagar y poner en marcha de nuevo según sea necesario.

Hacer cumplir las restricciones de los equipos con motores Diesel (autobuses, camiones, etc.) contra dejarlos en marcha.

Revisar todos los sistemas de ventilación para asegurar que estén funcionando correctamente.

Hacer mantenimiento rutinario de los motores para minimizar sus emisiones nocivas.

Los equipos con motores Diesel que produzcan gases de escape con humo visible deben sacarse de servicio hasta que se corrija esa condición.

Los vehículos deben estar equipados con controles de emisión de contaminantes (por ejemplo, recolectores, limpiadores de aire, trampas cerámicas para partículas, etc.). Los controles de emisión de contaminantes se deben revisar periódicamente y reemplazarse cuando sea necesario.

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

Having many years experience assisting contrac-tors, it’s always a pleasure to hear from them again. In this particular case, my answer will likely be of interest to an unlimited number of contractors. Another contractor knows that the company name you’re using has a direct impact on what kind of business comes through the door…

Q: I have worked with you several times apply-ing for our Contractors Licenses. Our parent firm is a Limited Liability Company (LLC), which does business in Arizona, Nevada and other states. Our corporation was created solely for the purpose of contracting in California. With the change in California that will soon allow LLC’s to hold Contractor’s Licenses we’re wondering whether there might be a provision for an entity like our corporation to transfer its licenses to its Parent Limited Liability Company? I would be interested in any information you might have re-garding the upcoming change in California.

A: Thank you for your email and past use of our firm. I have written a letter, which I recently sent to a number of my clients (and others) who have expressed interest in securing a LLC license. This summarizes where the CSLB is at and when we expect the Board to allow LLC licenses to move forward (likely around January 1st). I have added your name to this list for future updates.

It does appear the CA Contractors Board will consider allowing a corporation to transfer its existing corporate license to the new LLC entity. However, there are a few restrictions so not ev-ery company will be able to take advantage of this provision.

Any reader interested in receiving a periodic LLC update, should contact my office by phone, fax or email.

Q: Hello, rather than trying to get someone on the phone at CSLB, which is nearly impossible...I was hoping you might be able to help. We are look-ing to incorporate our Sole Owner construction business. We currently carry a “B” license and 2 specialty classes. Can the corporation have one name and the other 2 companies operate under different names but the same license number (i.e. XYZ Construction Inc.; XYZ Painting, XYZ Plumbing) or is there only ONE name allowed per license number? We only have “construc-tion” in our name and feel it deters people who think we may not be legit painters or plumbers (even though we are!).

A: Thank you for the email inquiry. You have the option of incorporating and doing business under various names. Using your example, this means you’d end up with 3 licenses, each with a different name and number.

Coordinating these can be tricky due to a recent change in CSLB policy. For example, you may want to first secure a new license number for XYZ Construction Inc. or have your Sole Owner license transferred to the corporation. Once this is completed, the two other original license ap-plications can be filed (for XYZ Painting, XYZ Plumbing). To reiterate, each business name must have it’s own license number.

Q: I would like to reactivate my corporate license and keep my personal license on ice. Can I do this? I remember a time when it was required that your personal license be active to qualify a corporate license.

A: I am not aware of any time in the last 30 years (which is as far back as my direct knowledge goes) where it was a requirement to have both licenses active. This being said, it is up to you, as the contractor, to make a personal decision on whether you want to reactivate one or both licenses. If you are unsure of the consequences, let’s talk further.

While knowledge is power, knowing where to go for the answers is half the battle. Get expert assis-tance immediately when you call 866-443-0657, email [email protected], or write me at Capitol Services, Inc., 1225 8th St. Ste. 580, Sacramento, CA 95814. Research past columns at www.cutredtape.com.
