Well, here it is the end of another year. And with it comes the end of my tenure as President of the San Diego Roofing Contractors Association. I have served as Presi-dent for three years now and have been on the board for five years. It has been a pleasure working with all the other volunteers over the years.

I particularly liked getting to know these people on a personal level, just not as manufacturers reps, consult-ants, and competitors, and of course my favorite insur-ance broker. I would like to thank them for all of their support and efforts that they have put forward over the years. I would also like to thank James Robyn for all the work that he does on behave of our association.

We just recently had our annual Advocate Dinner at Solterra Winery. Patricia Mosteller organized it and it was a great night. The Advocate Dinner the first year I was President had eight people in attendance. This year we had about 30!

The SDRCA Mission Statement:

The San Diego Roofing Contractors' Association (SDRCA) has been serving the Roofing Industry for over forty years.

Times, techniques and technology has changed, but the SDRCA Core Values, Code of Ethics, Mission and Vision Statement has not. The 2016 Board of Di-rector Team is committed and dedicated to serving our members and this associa-tion with new education, resources, training and savings for the purpose of helping our members continue a tradition of profitability and professionalism in our industry. It is the intent of this Association to establish and maintain professional standards and prac-tices in the Roofing Industry through education and public awareness. Our members are com-mitted to excellence and they use the benefits offered by the Association to help obtain this goal. The SDRCA encourages you to become fully aware of the potential problems of dealing with an unli-censed, uninsured roofer.

The SDRCA was formed in 1957 to preserve and promote the art of roofing application. SDRCA members recognize that after 58 years of innovation in roofing technology and application, the fol-lowing goals are as meaningful and relevant today as they were yesterday and will be tomorrow.

The SDRCA remains a strong supporter of open competition and the free enterprise system; indeed, this competitive environment led to the success of its members. SDRCA members recognize that the perpetuation of such a healthy business environment is greatly influenced by their own professional conduct. The SDRCA supports the following practices, and encourages them in its members.

SDRCA Member Code of Ethics: 1. To conduct my business in an ethical manner, so that I will reflect credit and confidence by the public in our

industry as well as my own business.

2. To consider my vocation worthy and dignified and thus affording a distinct opportunity to serve society.

3. To hold that the exchange of my goods and service for a fair profit is legitimate and ethical, provided all parties in the exchange are benefited.

4. To elevate the standards of my vocation by exercising a high degree of care in the execution of all work, and correct any defective work as a direct challenge to my ability and integrity.

5. To protect and defend the public from fraudulent and unethical practices affecting our industry.

6. To cooperate with the association in its effort to better conditions in the industry, so that public, manage-ment, capital and labor will all mutually benefit.

7. To operate my business in accordance with the rules and regulations of constituted authority at all levels and in a manner which will leave no doubt as to my loyalty to my country and its ideals and fundamental principals.

SDRCA December 2016 Safety Corner

SAFETY DURING THE HOLIDAYS STARTS AT HOME

If you’re like most people, you’re making plenty of lists and plans this time of year – for gifts, party guests and those endless holiday chores. The Holiday Season is the time of year to ensure that your home is both safe and secure. While most of us are vigilant about safety on the job, let’s not forget about safety at home. Have you thought of drawing up a home-safety checklist? Why do this now? Because it is smart to make sure that your home is safe and secure before holiday guests and winter weather arrives, or you take a vacation with an extended absence away from home. Use the following suggestions to customize a checklist for your home so you can be sure to avoid accidents or maintenance problems.

1. Examine Your Plumbing For Leaks. Inspect the area around the refrigerator, washer, dishwasher, water

heater, sinks and toilets for drips, puddles, and discolored and warped flooring. Be sure to check the water lines under the sink, to the toilet and washing machine for any signs of leaks or wear. If you find any of the above conditions, call a plumber as soon as possible.

2. Take Protective Measures When Necessary. If you’re going on a lengthy trip, consider turning off the water

main before you leave. That way, you won’t return to a house flooded by a leak that started when you were not around to notice. In addition, it is a good idea to have a neighbor, friend or relative regularly check on your home during your absence.

3. Fight Fire Starters. Clean your dryer exhaust vent. Even if you regularly remove lint from the lint trap, some

can get caught in the hose that connects your dryer to the vent outside your house, and it can cause a fire. Run a long, flexible brush in circles around the inside of the vent to clear it out.

4. Call your HVAC Specialist / Chimney Sweep. Have both your heating / air-conditioning system and chimney

inspected, cleaned and maintained before you start using the fireplace and heater during the winter season.

5. Install and/or Check Smoke Detectors. More residential fires occur during the winter months than at any

other time of year. If needed, put in fresh batteries or replace non-working units. While you’re at it, do the same with your carbon monoxide detector. Remember, both smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are required by law in all residential dwelling units.

6. Use Fireplace Screens. Don’t use your fireplace without a spark/debris screen. Make sure the screen is

properly installed in front of the fireplace and stable enough to catch any flying debris or sparks.

7. Weatherproof Your House. Clean your gutters and roof valleys. Remove debris such as leaves and twigs, so

these gutters and valleys can carry away rainwater, which can pool, damage the roof and/or infiltrate into the home.

8. Check Your Roof For Signs of Wear. We’re all in the roofing business, so we know what to look for in an

inspection. Just don’t forget or neglect to do your own home and complete any necessary repairs or maintenance!

9. Trim Your Trees. Cut tree branches back far enough that they won’t land on your roof or crash into your

windows and cause damage in a storm. Winter months in Southern California is also the season for “wind events” so be sure to check all around the home for anything that may be damaged during high winds.

10. Inspect Your Windows and Doors. Repair any cracked caulking around windows and replace old or

damaged weather stripping around doors. In this way, they won’t leak in a rainstorm and provide a better thermal seal for the home.

11. Handle Holiday Decorations. Place candles in sturdy containers. Make sure they won’t tip over, and place

them at least 12 inches away from anything combustible or even better, use flameless candles.

12. Be Extra Cautious With Christmas Trees. Water a fresh tree each day and keep it at least 3 feet away from

anything that could cause it to combust, such as candles, fireplaces, radiators, space heaters or heat vents. Avoid using strings of lights that are frayed or broken or have loose bulbs which can short out and start a fire. Reprint from the AAA Westways Magazine, pp. 18, November/December 2016.

OSHA FINES JUMP 78% as of 8/1/16 for Violations after 11/2/15 Congressional action last year has prompted the Labor Department to raise by 78% the maximum penalties it can impose for violations of Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) rules. The new rates affect penalties assessed after August 1st, 2016 for violations that occurred after November 2nd, 2015. That is the date Congress passed legislation requiring Labor Department agencies to update the size of the penalties they impose to keep pace with inflation. OSHA penalites had not changed since 1990, and it is widely believed that the penalties lost some of their financial sting. A dollar in 1990 has the same buying power as $1.84 in 2016. Along with OSHA, increases were also imposed for penalties levied by the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs, the Wage and Hour Division, and the Employee Benefits Security Administration. For instance, the penalty for willful violations of the minimum wage and overtime rules will rise to $1,894.00 from $1,000.00. See new OSHA fine schedule below.

Type of OSHA Violation Old Penalty New Penalty Willful or repeated violation $5,000 to $70,000 $8,908 to $124,709

Serious violation $7,000 $12,471

Other-than-serious violation Up to $7,000 Up to $12,471

Failure to correct a violation Up to $7,000 Up to $12,471

Violation of a posting requirement Up to $7,000 Up to $12,471

OSHA’s TOP 10 CITATIONS of 2016 . . . The most cited OSHA violations of 2016 cover a wide range of workplace safety topics, from falls to chemicals, from PPE to forklifts. Patrick Kapust, Deputy Director of Enforcement Programs for OSHA, revealed the list at the National Safety Council’s 2016 congress in Anaheim, CA. These numbers are preliminary. The totals will become final sometime in November. 1. Fall protection (1926.501, 6,929 violations): As the economy improves, the number of fall protection violations

rises with an increase in construction. 2. Hazard communication (1910.1200, 5,677 violations): The number of violations in this category continues to

increase. Although the content and style of safety data sheets changed in OSHA’s Hazard Communication standard in recent years, the requirements to keep that information is largely the same.

3. Scaffolding (1926.451, 3,906 violations): One place where companies run afoul of this standard: improper assembly and maintenance of scaffolding.

4. Respiratory protection (1910.134, 3,585 violations): Companies often attempt to perform proper fit testing of employees for respirators, but their efforts fall short.

5. Lockout/tagout (1910.147, 3,414 violations): OSHA’s rule requiring prompt reporting of employee amputations has contributed to an increase in violations of this standard.

6. Powered industrial trucks, i.e. forklifts (1910.178, 2,800 violations): This standard always makes the top 10, with the number of violations mostly steady from last year.

7. Ladders (1926.1053, 2,639 violations): Simply not allowing employees to use broken ladders and forbidding them from standing on the top step would prevent many of the citations under this standard.

Cal/OSHA Cites Solar Panel Installers for Willful Failure to Protect Employee from 29-Foot Fall . . .

Fontana—Cal/OSHA has cited Elite Electric Inc. for serious and willful safety violations after a worker installing solar panels in Fontana fell 29 feet through a skylight. Elite did not provide their employees with required fall protection, even though the Riverside, CA based company charged the building owner for the equipment. As a result, the 29-year-old employee suffered severe head trauma, cognitive impairment, multiple pelvis fractures, fractured ribs and a collapsed lung. Cal/OSHA investigators learned that when the accident occurred on June 13, there was no evidence of fall protection at the site, despite the hazards presented by more than 140 skylights in the roof of the building, a rooftop access hatch, and the unguarded edges of the roof. The employee who fell did not receive any personal protective equipment from his employer.

“Falling is the leading cause of death in the construction industry,” said Cal/OSHA Chief Juliann Sum. “It is critical for employers to prevent workers—especially those working from great heights—from being injured or killed

from falls. This employer was aware of their responsibility and completely failed to fulfill it.” Cal/OSHA issued five workplace safety citations to Elite Electric this week, with proposed penalties of $130,125. One of the citations is general, three are serious, and one is willful-serious. A serious violation is cited when there is a realistic possibility that death or serious harm could result from the actual hazardous condition. A willful violation is cited when the employer is aware of the law and violates it nevertheless, or when the employer is aware of the hazardous condition and takes no reasonable steps to address it. In this case, the willful-serious violation stems from Elite Electric’s failure to protect employees approaching within 6 feet of any skylight during the installation of solar panels from falling through them. It is an OSHA requirement that employers use such measures as guardrails, personal fall protection systems, covers, screens or nets. Elite obtained payment for these protections, which is evidence that company management was aware of the need for this equipment on the jobsite.

● P/N 291260 – 46" Delineator Post with 30# Base

This 30# Perimeter Warning System meets OSHA 1926.502 code for Fall Protection requirements. It consists of a 30# rectangle recycled rubber base, a high-impact polyethylene 46" upright with

New California Law Affects Employee Exclusions Provided By: Patricia Mosteller, Pacific United Insurance Services

Workers’ Compensation is a state specific system and as our experts in the indus-

try, you may have already heard about Assembly Bill 2883 (AB 2883). This recent

amendment narrows the definition of an excluded employee and applies to all work-

ers’ compensation policies that will be in effect on or after January 1, 2017.

How does this affect our shared policyholders?

AB 2883 permits only officers and directors that own at least 15 percent of stock of

the corporation, or an individual who is a general partner of a partnership or manag-

ing member of a liability company to be excluded from the workers’ compensation

policy if they execute a waiver under penalty of perjury that they meet these qualifi-

cations.

The biggest challenge regarding AB 2883 is that it applies to all workers’ comp in-

surance policies that will be in effect on or after January 1, 2017, including all poli-

cies in force that expire after January 1, 2017.

How will the affected policyholders be notified?

It is our responsibility to identify and provide notice to any policyholders who are af-

fected by the new law. We are mailing advisory notices directly to our affected poli-

cyholders to explain the recent law changes and will include a waiver form. Copies

of this notice, including the waiver form (specific to each carrier), will be available

on ArrowheadExchange.com in the Daily Print and Policy Inquiry. The letters will be

identified as “Urgent Notifications.”

What can you expect from us?

Arrowhead will acknowledge receipt and acceptance of the waiver, which must be

completed by January 1, 2017. We will determine and report, consistent with exist-

ing practices, the premium and loss experience associated with officers who have

not executed a waiver as covered employees. Current policies will be endorsed

based on waiver information, premiums will reflect changes and be invoiced. Insur-

eds will pay premium tax and assessments associated with such additional pre-

mium. CONTINUED NEXT PAGE

What is required of you?

Please discuss AB 2883 with your affected clientele and assist with the timely re-

turn of all inquiries that meet the requirements of the new law. We expect you to

guide these policyholders that are required to execute a waiver for officers and di-

rectors to be exempt based on the new ownership rules. As such the bill now

makes everyone included in such organizations unless they are eligible and sign a

written waiver of rights including a statement that the individual is a qualifying part-

ner, officer or director, or LLC member. The waiver form(s) are to be signed, com-

pleted and returned to [email protected] by January 1, 2017. A sepa-

rate completed waiver form is required for each individual requesting exclu-

sion. Please note: waiver forms are specific to each carrier and cannot be inter-

changed. Identify the carrier on the policy and use the corresponding waiver form.

Our program carriers intend to, and/or have directed us to, collect additional premi-

ums because of the inclusion of coverage for additional employees based on AB

2883, at final audit. Our carriers will not waive premiums due based on Assembly

Bill 2883.

Where can you find more information?

Assembly Bill 2883 and the WCIRB Bulletin are great resources to access further

details regarding these changes. If you have any question concerning the imple-

mentation of AB 2883, you may contact the California Department of Insurance.

1. It's free: Topical, useful information at no charge to you - now that's a great value! This is just one of the great resources provided by Energy Code Ace free of charge.

2. It's live: A great opportunity to interact in real time with industry experts and your col-leagues in this short 2-hour format.

3. It's valuable: Our goal is to provide you with job aids that include useful "in your hands" resources with easy to read instructions, and industry contacts for additional guidance, spe-cific to the topic.

Not your typical webinar, these events are designed to both offer and gather information on technical aspects of the code. We ask YOU to help us develop our material using your re-sponses to a few questions. So please take the time to answer our questions when regis-

tering so this webinar can be designed for you!
