Dear Members,

The SDRCA is proud to announce the beginning of the Roger D. Urbach Memorial Scholarship Program.

The purpose of the Scholarship Program is to grant multi-ple scholarships of various amounts each year to SDRCA members, members’ immediate family, members’ employees, and immediate family of members’ employees in memory of Roger D. Urbach, founder of Urbach Roofing and past Presi-dent of the SDRCA.

The fund will be largely supported through the SDRCA golf tournament, therefore the amount of available funds depends greatly on the financial success of the golf event.

I want to thank Gary Gilmore and Dan Dallenbach who have been working hard on getting the Roger D. Urbach Me-morial Scholarship Program off the ground and we now see their efforts pay off with the roll-out of this new program.

We ask all manufacturers and distributors, when you see the sponsorship opportunities associated with our golf event, please take advantage and sign up for one of the sponsor-ships and help fund this remarkable new program.

Dear SDRCA Member, March 1, 2019

The SDRCA Board of Directors is proud and excited to introduce the Roger D. Urbach Memorial Scholarship Fund. Its purpose is to grant multiple scholarships of various amounts every year to members, members' immediate family, members’ employees, and immediate family of members’ employees in memory of Roger D. Urbach, founder of Urbach Roofing and past President of the SDRCA. The Scholarship Program will provide financial assistance to qualified SDRCA members to foster their professional development through continuing education. Interested candidates will submit an official Scholarship Application Form to the SDRCA in order to be considered for a scholarship award. The address for submission of scholarship applications is as follows:

SDRCA Attn: Scholarship Committee P.O. Box 1328 Solana Beach, CA 92075

The Roger D. Urbach Memorial Scholarship Fund will also complement the Build-A-Roof Program as the means for the SDRCA to continue its support, education and development of the San Diego roofing community. In this way, The Roger D. Urbach Memorial Scholarship Fund will enhance the SDRCA's vision to make a lasting impact in the lives of qualified members, their employees and their families.

The Fund will be largely supported through the annual SDRCA golf tournament; therefore the amount of available funds depends greatly on the financial success of the tournament. Members are encouraged to continue to promote and support this important annual event. Beyond participating in the annual golf tournament, we encourage members to make a separate donation to the scholarship fund. All donations to this cause are greatly appreciated and will help build the fund for additional scholarship awards.

If you have questions, comments or suggestions regarding the scholarship program, please contact any member of the SDRCA Board of Directors. We look forward to a dynamic and successful 2019 for the San Diego Roofing Contractors Association. Finally, we have enclosed a copy of the Scholarship Application to review and use for informing your organization and any qualified candidates of the program. Additional copies of the scholarship program are available to download at the SDRCA website: http://www.sdrca.com/.

Market Outlook for 2019: Uncertainty is Certain Jack Loehr, Edward Jones 6050 Santo Rd., Ste. 140, San Diego, CA 92124

Time for Some Financial Spring Cleaning Spring is here – and for many of us, that means it’s time for some spring cleaning. This year, in addition to tidying up your home, why not try brightening your financial environment? Some of the same moves you make to clean your surroundings may apply to your finances. Con-sider these suggestions: Get rid of clutter. When you go through your closets, attic, basement or other areas, you may find many items you no longer need. You might be able to sell some of these things or find other ways of disposing of them. And as you review your portfolio, you might also encounter “clutter” in the form of investments that may be redundant to others you own. If so, you might consider selling these investments and using the pro-ceeds to purchase new ones, which may help you broaden your portfolio. Protect yourself from hazards. As you go about your spring cleaning, you may well encounter hazardous substances, such as cleaning agents, paints, batteries, pesticides and so on, which you don’t need anymore and which may pose potential health risks. You can reduce the possible danger from these materials by recycling or disposing of them in an environmentally safe way. Your overall financial situation has hazards, too, in the form of illness or injury preventing you from working, or, in your later years, the need for some type of long-term care, such as an extended stay in a nursing home. To protect yourself, you may need appropriate insurance, including disability and long-term care. Find new uses for existing possessions. When you are sprucing up your home, you may rediscover uses for things you already have. Who knows – perhaps that tread-mill that’s been gathering dust in your garage could actually be employed again as part of your rededicated exercise regimen. And you might be able to get more mileage out of some of your existing investments, too. Suppose, for instance, that some of your stocks are paying you dividends, which you take as cash. If you don’t really need this income to support your lifestyle, you might consider reinvesting the dividends so that you can own more shares of the dividend-paying stocks. Over the long run, increased share ownership is a key to helping build your portfolio. Establish new habits. Spring cleaning doesn’t have to be just about physical activi-ties – it can also involve a new set of habits on your part. For example, instead of plac-ing your unread magazines in an ever-expanding pile, try to read and recycle them quickly. You can also develop some positive habits as an investor, such as “paying yourself first” by regularly putting some money in an investment account each month, even before paying all your bills. You can also avoid some bad habits, such as overre-acting to market downturns by selling investments to “cut your losses,” even though those same investments may still have strong growth potential and may still be suitable for your needs. Doing some spring cleaning can make you feel better about your living space today. And applying some of these techniques to your financial situation can help you gain a more positive outlook for tomorrow.

March 2019 Safety Corner

Cal/OSHA Reminds Employers to Post Annual Work-Related Injury and Illness Summaries Starting February 1st, 2019.

Cal/OSHA is reminding employers in California of the requirement to post their 2018 annual summaries of work-related injuries and illnesses. The summaries must be posted each year from February 1 through April 30. Instructions and form templates can be downloaded for free from Cal/OSHA’s Record Keeping Overview. The overview gives instructions on completing both the log (Form 300) and annual summary (Form 300A) of work-related injuries and illnesses. The annual summary must be placed in a visible and easily accessible area at each worksite. Current and former employees, as well as employee representatives, must be allowed to review the summary in its entirety. The definitions and requirements for recordable work-related fatalities, injuries and illnesses are outlined in the California Code of Regulations, Title 8, sections 14300 through 14300.48. Employers are required to complete and post Form 300A even if no workplace injuries occurred. Posting the summary may reveal patterns or potential hazards that need to be addressed and helps ensure workers are aware of work-related injuries and illnesses that occurred the previous year. More information on posting requirements or how to reduce workplace injuries and illnesses is available on the DIR’s Employer Information webpage.

OSHA Announces National Safety Stand-Down to Prevent Falls in Construction from May 6-10, 2019. Fatalities caused by falls from elevation continue to be a leading cause of death for construction employees, accounting for 366 of the 971 construction fatalities recorded in 2017 (BLS data). Those deaths were preventable. The National Safety Stand-Down raises fall hazard awareness across the country in an effort to stop fall fatalities and injuries.

What is a Safety Stand-Down? A Safety Stand-Down is a voluntary event for employers to talk directly to employees about safety. Any workplace can hold a stand-down by taking a break to focus on "Fall Hazards" and reinforcing the importance of "Fall Prevention". Employers of companies not exposed to fall hazards, can also use this opportunity to have a conversation with employees about the other job hazards they face, protective methods, and the company's safety policies and goals. It can also be an opportunity for employees to talk to management about fall and

other job hazards they see. More details on the OSHA website: https://www.osha.gov/StopFallsStandDown/

Who Can Participate? Anyone who wants to prevent hazards in the workplace can participate in the Stand-Down. In past years, participants included commercial construction companies of all sizes, residential construction contractors, sub- and independent contractors, highway construction companies, general industry employers, the U.S. Military, other government participants, unions, employer's trade associations, institutes, employee interest organizations, and safety equipment manufacturers.

Partners OSHA is partnering with key groups to assist with this effort, including the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA), OSHA approved State Plans, State consultation programs, the Center for Construction Research and Training (CPWR), the American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP), the National Safety Council, the National Construction Safety Executives (NCSE), the U.S. Air Force, and the OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Centers.

The mission of the San Diego Roofing Contractors’ Association is to establish and maintain professional standards and practices in the roofing industry through education and public awareness.

How to Conduct a Safety Stand-Down and FAQ's Companies can conduct a Safety Stand-Down by taking a break to have a toolbox talk or another safety activity such as conducting safety equipment inspections, developing rescue plans, or discussing job specific hazards. Managers are encouraged to plan a stand-down that works best for their workplace anytime. See

Suggestions to Prepare for a Successful "Stand-Down" and Highlights from the Past Stand-Downs. OSHA also hosts an Events page with events that are free and open to the public to help employers and employees find events in your area.

Certificate of Participation Employers will be able to provide feedback about their Stand-Down and download a Certificate of Participation following the Stand-Down.

Share Your Story with Us If you want to share information with OSHA on your Safety Stand-Down, Fall Prevention Programs or suggestions on how we can improve future initiatives like this, please send your email to

oshastanddown@dol.gov. Also share your Stand-Down story on social media, with the hashtag: #StandDown4Safety.

If you plan to host a free event that is open to the public, see OSHA's Events page to submit the event details and to contact your Regional Stand-Down Coordinator.

Preventing Fall Harness Suspension Trauma:Learn How To Prevent Suspension Trauma While Waiting For Rescue After A Fall

Often, employers believe their job is complete if they can keep their workers safe from an impact injury during a fall event. Unfortunately, timely rescue and post-fall suspension trauma are often, according to OSHA case studies, ignored when employers are building a fall protection plan. To the employee waiting for rescue after a fall-related event, suspension trauma is a real and very serious threat. Just what is Suspension Trauma? Suspension trauma, also referred to as orthostatic intolerance, is a natural human reaction to being upright and immobile and can be caused by a situation when a person is forced to stay upright without standing. The use of a personal fall arrest system during a fall event can be the cause of this situation. During a fall event, several things occur that can lead to suspension trauma. Because the worker is suspended in an upright position with his/her legs hanging, blood begins to accumulate in the legs. This is commonly called venous pooling (the accumulation of too much blood in the veins) which reduces the flow of oxygenated blood to the heart and brain.

Additionally, in a post-fall suspension event, the leg straps on a worker’s safety harness can exert pressure on veins in the legs, compressing them and further reducing blood flow back to the heart. When venous pooling happens to someone in a standing position, he or she loses consciousness, faints and falls to the ground in a horizontal position resulting in the head (brain), heart and legs on the same level and normalized blood flow. Unfortunately, during a fall event, the harness keeps the worker upright. The worker faints but cannot collapse and circulation isn’t restored. Under the most ideal circumstances, when a rescue plan is in place, suspension trauma should always be treated as an emergency situation because, according to the Emergency Medicine Journal, it can become fatal in less than 30 minutes.

Suspension Trauma Warning Signs It is important to know the warning signs associated with suspension trauma. They include: faintness, breathlessness, sweating, paleness, hot flashes, increased heart rate, nausea, dizziness, unusually low heart rate, unusually low blood pressure and loss of vision.

Taking Steps to Reduce the Potential for Suspension Trauma One of the ways to slow the progression of suspension trauma is to stand up. When standing, the leg muscles must contract to provide support and maintain balance and these actions also put pressure on the veins. This pressure, along with a series of one-way valves in the veins, helps blood get to the heart and reduces the amount of blood pooling in the legs.

How Does a Worker Stand While Hanging in a Harness? A worker can stand in a harness by employing suspension trauma relief straps. Suspension trauma relief straps typically come packaged in two pouches that attach to each side of a harness. During a fall event, the worker can deploy the trauma relief straps - creating a loop that the worker can put his feet into and press against to simulate standing up.

Figure 1: Suspension trauma relief straps

Suspension trauma relief straps allow the leg muscles to stretch and can relieve pressure from the leg straps to help improve circulation in the legs and lower body. Too often, a worker is saved by his personal fall arrest system, only to succumb to suspension trauma while waiting for rescue. Everyone who works at heights should be fully trained in fall prevention and protection procedures. Those procedures should also include provisions for rescue in the event a fall does occur.

Rescue Procedures Under 29 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 1926.502 (d) (Construction standard), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires that employers provide for "prompt rescue of employees in the event of a fall or shall assure that employees are able to rescue themselves." The rescue procedure should address the potential of suspension trauma and how the rescued worker will be handled to avoid any post-rescue injuries. Rescue procedures should include: ●Employee training on how to "pump" his/her legs frequently to activate the muscles and reduce the risk of venous pooling as well as how to use footholds to alleviate pressure, delay symptoms and provide support for "muscle pumping." ●Continuous monitoring of the suspended worker for signs and symptoms of suspension trauma. Ensuring that a worker receives standard trauma resuscitation once rescued. If the worker is unconscious, keeping the worker's air passages open and obtaining first aid. ●Monitoring the worker after rescue and ensuring the worker is evaluated by a health-care professional. The worker should be hospitalized if appropriate. Possible delayed effects, such as kidney failure, which is not unusual in these cases, are difficult to assess on the scene.

Training ●When personal protective equipment (PPE) is used in the workplace, OSHA requires the employer to train each employee on: 1. When PPE is necessary. 2. What type of PPE is necessary. 3. How to properly don, doff, adjust and wear PPE. ●The limitations of PPE. 1. Proper care, inspection, maintenance, useful life and disposal of PPE. 2. OSHA specifies suspension trauma should be included as a topic of discussion for any worker required to wear fall arrest PPE and those who may perform rescue activities. ●Specific suspension trauma issues to address should be: 1. How it can occur. 2. Factors that may increase worker’s risk. 3. How to recognize signs and symptoms. 4. Appropriate rescue procedures and methods to diminish risk while suspended after fall event.

CSLB Requirements for LLC Entities

The Contractors State License board issued new requirements for LLC entities in Janu-ary, 2016 and I would like to take the opportunity to remind contractors the rules and regu-latory requirements for LLCs.

The $100,000 employers bond/surety bond is required on top of the $15,000 license bond. The surety bond aims to protect your employees from non-payment of wages and fringe benefits. In case you fail to provide any due payments, a harmed party can file a claim against your bond for reimbursement. If the surety pays the full $100,000, you must reimburse the surety company accordingly.

Similarly to the $15,000 license bond, the $100,000 LLC bond is also based upon cred-it. It’s a soft hit and does not impact your credit score whatsoever. Another requirement is the $1,000,000 General Liability Insurance required for LLC entities. Premiums are based off of exposures and operations.

Please reach out to Patricia at Pacific United Insurance for a 2nd opinion on your insurance coverages, premiums, and as always, the SDRCA Discount.
