CSLB Encourages All Licensed Contractors to Take Quick Marketing SurveyThree-minute survey will help Board develop marketing materials for licensees

only hiring licensed con-tractors.”

To take the survey, go to CSLB’s home page at www.cslb.ca.gov. The survey link is in the right column, under “CSLB In-dustry News.” Licensees also can find a link to the survey in the “Contrac-tor” section of the CSLB website.

Centers (ICs). Duplication of work will be avoided by allowing an IC investigator to continue to in-vestigate consumer complaints relating to unli-censed and uninsured practice, and participate in a sting to issue an NTA to the offending con-tractor.

Other legislation that impacts contractors in-cludes: Workers’ Compensation AB 1794 would make it a misdemeanor or cause

SACRAMENTO – The Contractors State License Board (CSLB) is urging licensees to take a brief marketing survey that is posted on its website www.cslb.ca.gov. Information gathered from the 10-question survey will be used to create educa-tional marketing products that licensees can use during client presentations.

“We already provide a variety of free educational materials for licensees,” said CSLB Registrar Steve Sands. “We’re now going a step further to pro-vide resources they can use to help educate con-sumers about the process of hiring a contractor and to help market the importance and value of

Several bills pertaining to home improvement contracting and the construction industry are making their way through the legislature this year, and state agencies are collecting public comment or have submitted approved regula-tions soon taking effect that could impact your business. The following lists are not all-inclusive, but you can check http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/bilinfo.html for information on legislation and http://www. oal.ca.gov/California_Regulatory_Notice_ Online.htm for the Office of Adminis-trative Law’s Notice Register as regulations are introduced and become effective.

Weigh in on Pending State Laws and RegulationsAffecting Construction Contracting

CSLB’s sponsored bills are Assembly Bill (AB) 2237 (Monning) that would more clearly define a contractor and clarify the role of agencies that provide temporary laborers for licensees; and AB 2554 (Berryhill), that would change the name of CSLB’s Enforcement Unit to the Enforcement Division. This change would provide all of CSLB’s enforcement representatives (ERs) the opportu-nity to have the authority to issue a notice to ap-pear (NTA). Under current law, only ERs assigned to CSLB’s SWIFT unit have the authority to issue an NTA. The intent is not to issue more NTAs, but to achieve efficiencies within CSLB Investigative

TAKE CARE WITH COMPRESSED AIR

Compressed air tools are commonly used in many workplaces. Many workers take them for granted, ignoring the hazards involved in their

use. Compressed air is not "just air." Its a focused stream of air driven at a high velocity, which can cause serious injury or death to its

operator or persons in the immediate area.

Fooling around with compressed air can be lethal. In one case, a blast of air playfully directed behind a worker startled him and caused him

to fall against a moving piece of machinery. A misdirected blast of compressed air can "pop" an eyeball from its socket, rupture an eardrum

or cause a brain hemorrhage. Directed at the mouth, it can rupture the lungs and intestines. If used to blow dust or dirt off clothing or body

parts, it can cause bubbles of air to enter the blood stream, even through a layer of clothing, and inflate and rupture body organs.

To prevent accidental injury when working with compressed air, here are several precautions to follow:

A compressed-air tool operator must wear eye protection and other appropriate personal protective equipment.

Before operating an air hose, examine all connections to make sure they are tight and will not come loose under pressure. A loose

air hose can make a dangerous bullwhip.

Check the air hose carefully to make sure it is in good condition before opening the valve to let air into the hose; when the job if

finished, turn off the valves on both the tool and the air line.

Hold the nozzle when turning the air on or off.

Before turning on the air pressure, make sure that dirt from machinery will not be blown onto other workers.

Dont kink the hose to stop the airflow; always turn off the air and the control valve.

Continuously check the condition of a compressed air tool and the air hose for damage or signs of failure.

Never point a compressed air hose nozzle at any part of your body or another person.

Never use compressed air for a practical joke.

Never look into the "business end" of a compressed air tool.

Never use compressed air for cleaning work clothes or machinery.

Keep air hoses out of aisle ways where they can be damaged by traffic or be a tripping hazard.

Compressed air tools are safe and reliable when properly and sensibly used.

SEA PRECAVIDO CON EL AIRE COMPRIMIDO

Las herramientas de aire comprimido se utilizan comunmente en muchos lugares de trabajo. Muchos trabajadores no les prestan suficiente

atención y hacen caso omiso de los riesgos que conlleva su uso. El aire comprimido no es "solamente aire". Es una corriente concentrada

de aire impulsada a alta velocidad, la cual puede causar serias lesiones o la muerte a su operador o a las personas que se encuentran en

las inmediaciones.

Jugar con el aire comprimido puede resultar mortal. En una ocasión, un chorro de aire dirigido en broma a espaldas de un trabajador, lo

sobresaltó de tal modo que le hizo caer contra una parte en movimiento de una máquina. Un chorro de aire comprimido lanzado en

dirección equivocada puede sacar un globo ocular de su órbita, romper los t’mpanos o causar una hemorragia cerebral. Dirigido a la boca,

puede desgarrar los pulmones y los intestinos. Si se usa para quitar polvo o suciedad de la ropa o del cuerpo, puede hacer que penetren

en la sangre burbujas de aire, por encima incluso de la ropa, e inflar y desgarrar órganos del cuerpo.Para prevenir lesiones accidentales

cuando trabaje con aire comprimido, observe las siguientes precauciones:

Los operadores de herramientas de aire comprimido deben llevar puesta protección ocular y otros equipos de seguridad personal

adecuados.

Antes de usar una manguera de aire, examine todas las conexiones para asegurarse de que estén bien apretadas y que no se

aflojaran con la presión. Las mangueras de aire flojas pueden dar latigazos peligrosos.

Revise la manguera de aire con detenimiento para asegurarse de que esté en buenas condiciones antes de abrir la válvula y

dejar entrar aire en la manguera; al terminar el trabajo, cierre las válvulas de la herramienta y del tubo de aire.

Sujete la boquilla al abrir y cerrar el aire.

Antes de abrir el aire comprimido, asegœrese de que la suciedad depositada en las máquinas no saldrá despedida en dirección a

otros trabajadores.

No retuerza la manguera para interrumpir la corriente de aire; cierre siempre el aire en la válvula de control.

Revise continuamente la condición de la herramienta de aire comprimido y de la manguera de aire por si tuviera daños o diera

muestras de fallos.

Nunca apunte la boquilla de una manguera de aire comprimido en dirección a su cuerpo o a otra persona.

Nunca use aire comprimido para bromas pesadas.

Nunca mire en el interior del extremo de la herramienta de aire comprimido por donde sale el aire.

Nunca use aire comprimido para limpiar su uniforme de trabajo ni ninguna máquina.

No deje mangueras de aire en pasillos, ya que puedan ser dañadas si se pisan o ser causa de tropiezos.

Las herramientas de aire comprimido son seguras y fiables cuando se usan de modo adecuado y sensato.

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

Like the timber wolf that has been in the news looking for new territory across the borders of Oregon and California, contractors across the west are also looking for opportunity in new places. For contractors with longer reach, knowing the variations in license law can make the difference between success and failure. We share some of the problems and some of the ‘profit’ in working across state lines…

Q: Capitol Services helped us years ago with obtaining our GC contractor’s license in Nevada and California and I have a question for you. The Responsible Managing Officer (RMO) on the license (who also happens to be my Uncle) is planning to retire at some point in the near future and we were wondering if there is a way to add me as a second Qualifier on the licenses so it doesn’t lapse. We were also thinking this would be beneficial in case anything unexpect-ed were to happen to him. A: Thanks for thinking of us. Since California only allows one Qualifier per classification, you cannot both be Qualifiers on the CA license si-multaneously. You can either replace your Un-cle on the license now as a pre-emptive step, or

you could obtain your own Sole Owner license as a “back-up” so the process of replacing him will be easier down the road. Keep in mind that even if you do nothing now, you will have 90 days to replace him if he were to retire or some-thing unexpected occur.With regards to Nevada, you certainly can be added to the license as a second Qualifier. In fact, Nevada actually allows up to TEN qualifiers on each license! Please contact us if you’d like assistance with this process.

Q: My company has had a General Building (“B”) license since 1985. In 2009 we obtained an “A” license by having one of our employees take the necessary exams. He is now leaving the company and I was wondering if there is any way for me to qualify the “A” portion of our license without having to take the tests? I am currently the RMO/President for the General Building license. Our company has been doing “A” projects for over 12 years. A: Unfortunately, you will have to take the trade exam to replace your employee for the General Engineering or “A” classification. The only way to qualify for a waiver is if your company had held

that classification (and the license has been in good standing) for 5 of the prior 7 years. The “A” work you reference was actually done with-out benefit of a license “in good standing” and would not be counted as experience. Q: I currently have a “C-61”/”D-06” (Concrete re-lated services) license in CA. My company does concrete pumping. We have some potential work in Nevada and I have reviewed Nevada’s classification list and it doesn’t appear that they have anything that is equivalent. Do I even need a license to perform this work in Nevada? A: Thank you for contacting us. If all you are doing is delivering and pumping from the truck then no, a contractor’s license is not required in Nevada. We hope this advice helps ‘pump’ up your profit line!

for disciplinary action if a contractor fails to no-tify workers’ compensation insurance providers within 20 days of hiring additional employees.

AB 2219 would amend Business and Professions Code section 7125 to indefinitely extend the requirement that all C-39 Roofing contractors obtain workers’ compensation coverage, even if they certify that they have no employees. That requirement currently is set to expire at the be-ginning of 2013. The bill also would extend, in-definitely, the requirement that insurers conduct annual audits, and would add that these audits be conducted in person to verify the accuracy of the reported number of employees.

AB 2449 would make changes to laws regarding the definitions of independent contractors and workers’ compensation.

Senate Bill (SB) 691 would add the Contractors State License Board to the list of agencies ap-proved to receive workers’ compensation in-formation from the Employment Development Department.

Employer vs. Independent Contractor/Wages AB 2288 would authorize a city or county pros-ecutor to take civil action against a build-ing

contractor for failure to pay wages, benefits, and workers’ compensation to employees.

AB 2373 would amend the definition of an inde-pendent contractor. SB 1333 would direct the Division of Labor Stan-dards Enforcement to establish consultation ser-vices for businesses with fewer than 100 employ-ees to help them clarify wage and hour laws, and would charge fees for these consulting services.

Underground Economy SB 1185 would create the Central Intelligence Partnership among multiple state agencies to combat underground economic activity.

Regulations/Permits AB 1537 would make changes to the rule-mak-ing process for regulations that would have a $50 million or more impact on California busi-nesses.

AB 2114 would enact new construction permit requirements for swimming pools, spas, or pub-lic wading pools.

AB 2398 would impact permits for construction projects related to recycled water.

AB 2595 calls for streamlining the permitting process for the design and construction of de-salination plants.

SB 1099 would change the effective date of regulations to four times annually, versus the current 30 days following Office of Administra-tive Law (OAL) approval, and would require OAL to provide a link on its website to all regulations filed with the Secretary of State.

SB 1306 would make changes to the process of permitting and denial of permits for construc-tion granted by the State Water Resources Con-trol Board or its regional offices.

SB 1520 seeks to streamline the state’s regula-tory and permitting processes.

Public Works Contracting AB 2353 would address substitutions in public works contracting.

AB 2440 would make changes impacting those contracting for public works projects with the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transporta-tion Authority.

SB 1370 would require the Department of Industrial Relations to post on its website prevailing wage requirements on public works proj-ects.

SB 1549 would change public works contract bidding in the San Diego region. Boards and Licensees AB 1588 would waive fees or continuing education requirements for a licensee whose license expires while on active duty in the military reserve or California National Guard.

AB 1904 would allow for the issuance of temporary professional li-censes (including those issued by CSLB) to spouses of those serving in the military.

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.
