California Senate Bill 474:A Fair Allocation of Construction Risk or a Formula for Increased Litigation?

California law would apply regardless if the parties have a contrary choice of law provision in their contract. SB 474 does not apply to design profes-•sionals.SB 474 has no effect on additional insured •obligations, i.e., contractual provisions requiring a party to obtain additional in-sured endorsements covering the party’s acts or omissions during ongoing and/or completed operations.SB 474 expands the definition of “con-•struction contract” to include agreements for renovations and such subjects as util-ity, water, sewer, oil, and gas lines. SB 474 does not apply to Owner Con-•trolled Insurance Programs (often called OCIPS or WRAPs) Prior to SB 474, California law prohibited •indemnity provisions requiring a “con-tractor” to indemnify a public agency for its own active negligence. SB 474 amends this law to clarify “contractor” to include “contractor, subcontractor, or supplier of goods and services”. A new section (c) is added to Civil Code •Section 2782 providing that in construc-tion contracts with owners of privately owned real property to be improved, in which the owner is not also acting as a contractor or supplier, there can be no indemnity provision relieving the owner Continued on page 16

The California Legislature and Governor Brown recently approved California Senate Bill 474, which generally provides that in all construc-tion contracts for private commercial projects entered into on or after January 1, 2013, any indemnity obligations (including the cost to defend) arising out of the active negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnified party are void and unenforceable.

This new law will dramatically affect risk al-locations in construction projects, and also lead to a likely increase in insurance-related litigation and associated costs. Under current practice, California developers and general contractors typically use what is referred to as a “Type I” indemnity provision in construction contracts. “Type I” indemnity allows one party (usually owners, developers, and general con-tractors) to require the other party (typically subcontractors) to indemnify them for their own active negligence or fault. Although some legislative changes have been made to ameliorate the effects of Type I agreements in the context of residential construction, SB 474 extends these protections to commercial projects.

SB 474’s other important aspects include the following:

If the property on which the construction •is performed is located in California, then

from his active negligence. However this does not apply to a homeowner perform-ing an improvement on a single family dwelling.

“Type II” indemnity agreements, which allow a party to be indemnified for another party’s passive, as opposed to active, negligence are still legal and enforceable. Passive negligence can include a failure to discover a dangerous condition or a failure by a general contractor to identify a subcontractor’s defective work, among other things.

The Effects of SB 474 General Contractors/Developers: General contractors and developers are adversely impacted since the new law eliminates an effective risk control tool. A likely result will be increased insurance premiums for gen-eral contractors and developers. Language in existing model contracts containing the Type I indemnity language will also have to be modified, and general contractors must be diligent in obtaining all subcontractors insur-ance information prior to the project’s com-mencement.

SB 474 proponents assert it adds fairness by

DUST EXPLOSIONS

When combustible or non-combustible materials are broken down into fine dusts or powders, they create a fire and explosion hazard affecting many operations and materials: sugar, flour, animal feed, plastics, paper, wood, rubber, furniture, textiles, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, paints and resins, dyes, coal, and metals.

To prevent fires from dust explosions, control the “dust explosion pentagon.” This includes the traditional fire triangle: fuel, heat, and oxygen along with a dust cloud and enclosed space. Keep dust levels (fuel) in the workplace to a minimum with dust control and housekeeping. Control flame and ignition sources (heat) such as pilot lights, open flames, hot equipment, and static electricity. Never allow smoking in the worksite.

Due to the hazard of dust explosions, CalOSHA Title 8, Section 5174 limits combustible dust to a concentration of 25% of its lower explosive limit (LEL) “unless all sources of ignition are eliminated or identified and specifically controlled.” (See CalOSHA’s website at http://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/5174.html).

Static electricity is a serious explosion and fire ignition source, but grounding prevents this. CalOSHA defines effective grounding as linking equipment to earth through a connection that has “low impedance” and enough current-carrying capacity to prevent hazardous voltages.

When you operate, service, and maintain equipment, ensure that the proper grounding is in place. Review facility machines, conveyors, housings, and conductive surfaces for proper ground. Hoses and nozzles used to collect or blow dust should be grounded along their entire lengths. Belts can be grounded through metal combs or other devices.

Dust collection, filtering, and treatment prevent explosions by removing dust from the air. Dust collectors should be hooked up outdoors or in a separate room. Wet spray dust collectors can be located inside the building. For grinding, shredding, or pulverizing equipment, use pneumatic or magnetic separators to remove metal and debris that could ignite a fire. Lay out your facility so that machines with dust explosion hazards are enclosed or facing away from populated work areas to minimize the fire and energy impact if there is an explosion.

Establish a routine cleaning schedule to remove dust from floors, ledges, beams, equipment, or other surfaces. Clean often enough to prevent dust buildup. If production changes and dust piles up faster than your schedule, clean more often. Create a checklist that identifies all areas to be cleaned so you don’t miss any. Use the proper tools, equipment, and safety procedures to clean dus t from heights.

Before you begin cleaning, shut down all flame and ignition sources. Allow dust to settle out of the air. Permanent, grounded vacuum systems or wet methods are ideal for dust cleanup. Use caution with push brooms or brushes that can make dust airborne. Choose natural bristle brushes; some synthetic fiber brushes can build up static. Using compressed air to blow and clean up dust is not recommended because of the potential to make a dust cloud. If there is no other alternative to compressed air, extinguish all flame and ignition sources and ground the hose and nozzle before use.

Attention to housekeeping and cleaning can prevent secondary explosions, which occur when an initial dust cloud ignites, explodes, and topples a duct, pipe, or other accumulation of dust. The newly airborne dust can then form a second explosive dust cloud, often larger and more deadly than the first.

EXPLOSIONES DE POLVO

Cuando los materiales combustibles o no combustibles se reducen a polvos finos, pueden crear un peligro de incendio y explosión que afecta a muchas operaciones y materiales: azúcar, harina, comida para animales, plásticos, papel, madera, hule, muebles, textiles, pesticidas, productos farmacéuticos, pinturas y resinas, tintes, carbón y metales.

Para prevenir incendios por explosión de polvos, se debe controlar el “pentágono de las explosiones de polvo”. Esto incluye el triángulo tradicional de los incendios: combustible, calor y oxígeno, junto con una nube de polvo y un espacio cerrado. Se deben reducir los niveles de polvo (el combustible) al mínimo en el sitio de trabajo por medio de controles y el buen orden y aseo. También se deben controlar las llamas y las fuentes de ignición (calor) tales como llamas de pilotos, llamas abiertas, equipos calientes y electricidad estática. Nunca se debe permitir fumar en el sitio de trabajo.

Debido al peligro de explosión de polvo, el Título 8 de CalOSHA, Sección 5174 limita el polvo combustible a una concentración máxima del 25% de su límite explosivo inferior (LEL, por sus siglas en inglés) “a no ser que se eliminen todas las fuentes de ignición o se identifiquen y controlen específicamente las mismas.” (Véase el sitio en Internet de CalOSHA en http://www.dir.ca.gov/Title8/5174.html).

La electricidad estática es una fuente seria de ignición de explosiones e incendios, pero las conexiones a tierra los previenen. CalOSHA define la conexión efectiva a tierra como una conexión de baja impedancia y con suficiente capacidad de corriente para prevenir voltajes peligrosos.

Cuando usted opere, haga servicio o dé mantenimiento en equipos, debe asegurarse de que tengan una buena conexión a tierra. Verifique que las maquinarias del centro de trabajo, las bandas transportadoras, los cuerpos de los equipos y las superficies conductivas estén debidamente conectadas a tierra. Las mangueras o boquillas que se usan para recolectar o soplar los polvos deben estar conectadas a tierra a todo lo largo de su longitud. Las correas deben conectarse a tierra a través de peines metálicos u otros dispositivos.

La recolección, filtrado y tratamiento del polvo previenen explosiones eliminando el polvo en el aire. Los recolectores de polvo deben instalarse afuera del edificio o en un salón separado. Los recolectores por rocío húmedo pueden ubicarse dentro del edificio. Para equipos de esmerilado, triturado o pulverizado, se deben usar separadores neumáticos o magnéticos para separar los metales y desperdicios que puedan prenderse fuego. Distribuya el local de manera que las máquinas con peligro de explosión estén encerradas o apuntando en sentido opuesto a las áreas de trabajo ocupadas para minimizar el impacto del incendio y la energía en caso de que ocurra una explosión.

Establezca un programa de limpieza de rutina para eliminar el polvo de pisos, cornisas, vigas, equipos y demás superficies. Haga limpieza con suficiente frecuencia para evitar que se acumule el polvo. Si la producción cambia y el polvo se acumula más rápido, se debe hacer limpieza con mayor frecuencia. Se debe preparar una lista que identifique todas las áreas que deben limpiarse para que no se olvide ninguna. Use las herramientas, equipos y procedimientos de seguridad apropiados para limpiar el polvo en lugares elevados.

Antes de comenzar la limpieza, apague todas las llamas y fuentes de ignición. Deje que el polvo en el aire se asiente. Los sistemas de aspiradora permanente, conectados a tierra, o los métodos húmedos de limpieza son ideales para la limpiar el polvo. Tenga cuidado al usar escobillones o cepillos que puedan tirar polvo al aire. Elija escobillones y cepillos de cerdas naturales; algunas cerdas sintéticas pueden cargarse de electricidad estática. No se recomienda el uso de aire comprimido para soplar y limpiar el polvo debido a la posibilidad de crear una nube de polvo. Si no hay alternativa al uso de aire comprimido, apague todas las llamas y fuentes de ignición y conecte la manguera y la boquilla a tierra antes de usarla.

El buen orden y aseo puede prevenir explosiones secundarias, las cuales ocurren cuando una nube de polvo inicial se incendia, explota y derriba un conducto, tubería u otro punto de acumulación de polvo. El polvo desplazado en el aire puede formar otra nube explosiva, con mayor frecuencia y más mortal que la primera.

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

When something sounds too good to be true you know the likely results. We ‘strip the cover off’ rules on who can and can’t do electrical work with- or without- the proper license. A ‘swift’ re-view of an unlicensed contractor’s recent bid for work…

Q: I found Capitol Services on the Internet. You look to be experienced in licensing matters. I was asked to become a RME on a new license. The person wants to use my Sole Owner license and pay me a fee each month. He said I did not even need to be involved in the company. I’m not using the license at this time, but can you tell me if this is legal? I thought I was supposed to work a certain amount of time each week?

A: There are several significant problems with the above ‘proposal’. First, to become a Respon-sible Managing Employee (RME) you should be involved in the day-to-day operations of your “employer”. Second, as an employee, you should be working at least 32 hours a week (or 80% of the time the company is operating). Third, “loan-ing” your contractor’s license to someone can get you into trouble with the CSLB. Also, keep in mind that you’ll be required to inactivate your Sole Owner license in order to act as the Quali-fier on this new license.

Q: I am writing about Section 7057. Can a su-pervising contractor for a new house do JUST

electrical work without doing any other work? Is he required to have a special license for getting electrical work done by his employee or an unli-censed sub contractor?

A: I suspect you’re asking if a “B” contractor can just do electrical (“C-10”) work on a residential construction project. The answer is NO, since he/she must perform two or more unrelated trades (not including framing) or hold the specialty clas-sification. You can however, take on the project and use a licensed “C-10”sub to do the electrical work. Under no circumstances should you use an unlicensed subcontractor.

Q: I have a quick question that hopefully you could answer. If someone has been acting in the capacity of a General contractor, overseeing subcontractors and laborers in various special-ties, but has not had a license, could that “illegal” experience be used to qualify towards applying for a legitimate license?

A: Yes, the CSLB will accept self-employed (ille-gal) experience as long as it can be certified by someone who has worked with this individual. In a small number of cases the CSLB will also ask for verifiable proof such as pay stubs, signed contracts or tax returns. The CSLB regularly con-ducts “stings” to catch unlicensed contractors so it is a good idea to quickly get a license and con-tract legally.

The CSLB SWIFT Unit recently conducted a sting operation in the Central Valley. Two of the sus-pects did not provide bids at the sting location, but said they would e-mail/fax their bid to the investigator (who was posing as a home owner) within a few days. After measuring the kitchen and both bathrooms, “Mr. Smith” left. True to his word, the investigator received a bid and then asked “Mr. Smith” to come to her place of employment to review it. The unlicensed indi-vidual “contractor” arrived without ever noticing that he was at the CSLB office. He confirmed the estimate and was immediately issued a Notice To Appear (NTA) for illegal advertising and con-tracting without a license.

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 us at Capitol Services, Inc., 1225 8th St. Ste. 580, Sacramento, CA 95814. Research past columns at www.cutredtape.com.

today’s economic environment. The intended result of SB 474 is that the cost of subcontrac-tors’ insurance will likely decrease.

The effect of SB 474 on defense obligations between construction participants remains to be seen. This new law may conflict with the recent Crawford and UDC decisions, which require a contractor or design professional to provide an immediate defense if a tender is made under a clause requiring them to “defend” another. Since SB 474 speaks to not only indemnity obligations but also “the cost to defend,” an argument can be made that the defense obligation does not arise until a de-termination is made whether the general con-tractor was “actively negligent.” On the other hand, SB 474 does not specifically mention the Crawford/UDC line of cases, so it is unclear whether the California Legislature meant to abrogate these cases and their language con-cerning an immediate defense obligation. Design Professionals: SB 474 does not apply to design professionals. However, design pro-fessionals have been advocating for expand-


making each party responsible for its own negligence. Opponents, i.e., owners, develop-ers, and general contractors, claim it will lead to increased litigation. They argue parties will expend more resources to determine actual liability instead of having a predetermined contractual obligation regardless of fault, re-sulting in additional discovery, depositions, etc. OCIPs (and other forms of WRAP insur-ance) will likely increase because developers and general contractors will be precluded from shifting all the risk on to subcontractors and their insurance carriers.

Subcontractors: The law’s primary purpose was to equitably shift the risk from the sub-contractor trades towards the higher tier con-struction participants. Proponents argued that “Type I” indemnity placed the majority of the burden of liability and defense costs on the subcontractor. Although in theory subcontractors have been free to negotiate contracts without “Type I” indemnity provi-sions, in reality they have been unable to do so given the superior bargaining power of the developer/general contractor, especially in

California Senate Bill 474 Continued from page 1

ing the laws protecting them from defense and indemnity obligations. While SB 474 only addresses Type I indemnity for contractors, subcontractors, and material suppliers, it may pave the way for similar legislation affecting design professionals. California is the seventeenth state to elimi-nate Type I indemnity provisions in construc-tion contracts.

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.
