Inti would appreciate our help!

Tucked away in a corner of the San Francisco Zoo sits the Koret Animal Resource Center for educational animals. In his own corner of the ARC lives one of the Zoo's most beautiful cats. He is a big healthy Bobcat named Inti. We say "big" because the fact sheets on bobcats say "normally" a bobcat is 9 to 25 lbs. and 26 to 41 inches nose to the tip of his stubby tail (hence the name "bob"cat). Inti is considerably larger than that

and 32+lbs. Bobcats (Lynx rufus) inhabit a range throughout the U.S. They can be found thriving from moun-tainous to swampy to desert terrain. Bobcats communicate in many respects comparably to a housecat in

that they purr, hiss, meow and growl. Their growl, however has been compared to that of their only predator, the cougar. Inti was born in May of 2002 and came to the Zoo as a kitten to replace a beloved predecessor in the Zoo's Summer Wildlife Theatre. Being a cat and, therefore, very much an individual, he unfortunately simply did not take to the leashes and harnesses necessary to make him a star. So, he has languished, pretty much out of sight, well cared for and loved by his keepers and volunteers, in his own little corner of the ARC.

Now Inti is peppy, curious and people "friendly" fellow and some time ago his keepers and some volunteers started a movement to find him more suitable and visible quarters for both his and Zoo visitors benefit. The

space has been found and the planning is progressing but, of course, the funding is sparse.

Can you help the Zoo and Inti with some time and building expertise?Any contribution would be very welcome and appreciated!

Please contact Barbara at 462-1220 or [email protected] for more information.

Kalb's Q&A for Contractors By David Kalb, President of Capitol Services, Inc.

Like the 800 lb gorilla in the room, government agencies can generally sit, contract or build however they want in CA. This often doesn’t ‘sit’ well with contractors. Another contractor wants to know if there is ‘truth’ in advertising he received, and other contractors may have also gotten. He gets a ‘true and false’ answer… Q: I noticed that the county where I have my business is contracting out less work and doing it in-house. I mean some major work like parking lots, curb, gutter, sidewalk, drainage improvements, etc. I also notice they do shoddy work, do not comply with traffic control requirements, use twice the work force and take twice as long. My question: is the County Agency required to maintain the appropriate contractor’s licenses and have qualified individuals to do the work? Who inspects their work? Do they have to get permits from the appropriate agen-cies, or is it a free for all as it appears? Not to mention they are taking work away from the local businesses. I have actually reported crews for violations of traffic controls and safety issues with no satisfaction. Any thoughts? A: Interesting question, however, a local government agency (like your County) is not required to hold a con-tractor’s license. They are exempt (under Code Section 7040) and can self-perform this type of construction with county employees. This exemption would also apply to the US Government, State of CA, incorporated cities, irrigation districts, or any “other municipal or political corporation or subdivision” when the work is being performed by their respective public employees. As regards permitting or perceived violations, since the County likely controls all aspects of the permit pro-cess, they would be the ones to inspect their own work or investigate reported violations (sort of like a coyote guarding the hen house). I cannot address the quality of work performed by any ‘public’ agencies nor can I make a determination about

how many jobs are impacted by the county self-perform-ing this work. However, it would stand to reason that lo-cal construction business would be negatively impacted. Q: I received a letter in the mail, which says “you may be eligible to receive your own California Contractors License without taking the state exam” because I am listed as an officer on my parents license. It also says this relates to 7065.1(c) and that the “State License Board has eliminated all other waivers”. I trust you to tell me if this is a scam or for real. A: As I have referenced several times in this column, the CSLB allows for an exam waiver under Code Sec-tion 7065.1(c). However, this is not the only available waiver and not everyone is eligible simply because they are listed as an Officer on a license. Frankly during my many years of responding to this type of question and handling these types of applications, I have found as many “Officers” ineligible as I have found qualify for the exam waiver. You must be able to show that you have worked full time for the corporation for at least 5 of the prior 7 years in the same classification(s) held by the company. You must have worked in a supervisory capacity not just served as Secretary or Treasurer. If the letter states that the “State License Board has eliminated all other waivers”, this is false. The Board has two additional waivers including what is commonly referred to as the “family waiver” (7065.1(b) whereby a close family member can continue a family business in the “absence or death of the licensee” and the “additional class waiver” which is available through B&P Code 7065.3. While knowledge is power, knowing where to go for the answers is half the battle.

As follow up to my article from a couple of weeks ago about the oversight hearing on the storm water regulations that was held in the Capitol, I came across this excellent article that I want to share with you. So too, I am also attaching a copy of the committee report that was handed out during the hearing.

WATER REGULATIONS DROWN BUSINESS

By Katy Grimes Calwatchdog.com news reporter Wednesday, October 12th, 2011A special legislative hearing last week exposed the dramatic impact that proposed storm water permitting requirements would have on the state’s businesses, local governments and even public schools.But even more enlightening was the revelation that the proposed water regulation, estimated to bring in more than $7 billion for the state, made it all the way through the process without any input from those it would effect. Nor was a cost impact analysis ever done.The State Water Resources Control Board apparently operates under an

obscure state law that allows the board to avoid any input or contact from those businesses and municipalities that the regulation would impact. And the board is not legally required to prepare any financial analysis of the impact of the proposed regulation.That a state agency would propose another staggering regulation is not surprising. That it can happen without oversight during the process, input from stakeholders, or an accounting to the taxpayers of the state, is outrageous and demonstrative of just how the tail is wagging the dog in California. State government is out of control.Water Permitting RegulationsPrivate sector businesses, cities and counties have been operating under a water permit that expired in 2005. Under the proposed new permit, commercial and industrial businesses and would be required to undergo major structural changes in order to comply with new strict regulations for waste management and stormwater runoff. And all businesses would be required to study their parking lots and buildings to find out how much water runoff is entering storm drains.Many of the business and municipality representatives at the hearing said that the new permit would more than triple their permitting costs. For private sector businesses already suffering under the weight of California’s overwhelming regulatory rulebook, this proposed new permit is evidence

of unnecessarily brutal regulations by insensitive public officials, in the midst of a recession.The California Chamber of Commerce has warned that the proposed regulations go above and beyond what the federal EPA mandates and will result in hundreds of millions of dollars in additional costs with no proven environmental benefits.Sen. Rod Wright, D-Inglewood, chairman of the Senate Select Committee on California Job Creation and Retention, held back very little as he questioned Tom Howard, Executive Director of the State Water Resources Control Board, about the proposed permit.“Government doesn’t create jobs — we provide services,” Wright said. “Government lives on the vig — we get a piece of the action. And if there is no action, we get none,” said Wright, referencing a Mafia expression used on the Sopranos.Wright has been openly critical of the state’s business-killing regulations, which have decimated businesses in his district.And Wright has been the victim of the legislative process as well. In May, Wright had two bills killed by his own Democratic party. The bills merely attempted to give some regulatory oversight to the Legislature, instead of allowing state agencies to implement regulations without legislative involvement.

FOLLOW UP TO STORM WATER OVERSIGHT HEARING

BY: Phil Vermeulen, Legislative Advocate



Had his bills passed and been signed into law, the State Water Resources Control Board would not have been able to propose the new water permit regulation while avoiding input or accountability for the costs to comply (we strongly supported both of these bills - Phil).Howard testified that the water board has now admitted that complying with the proposed water permit would be extremely difficult and expensive. The Board has agreed to start the process over, rewrite the regulation, hold new discussions, hearings and workshops, and present it again to the Legislature –and of course, all paid for by the taxpayers, again.Questionable ScienceThe California Chamber of Commerce reported that a coalition of businesses, taxpayers, and local governments have been questioning the science behind the new storm water permit requirements (we’re members of this coalition - Phil). The increase in costs with no proven environmental benefits has had the coalition up in arms for months.Compliance costs could range from tens of thousands of dollars at small businesses and schools, to hundreds of millions of dollars at large facilities owned by ports and industrial facilities, according to the coalition.The coalition is called “Workable Approach to Environmental Regulation (WATER),” and was out in force at Thursday’s hearing.“Thousands of California school districts, local governments, recycling facilities, truckers, manufacturers and other businesses currently comply with an Industrial General Storm Water Permit that requires them to manage storm water runoff through best management practices. It already costs businesses dearly to comply,

and earns the state millions of dollars every year in permitting fees as well as penalties,” reported the Chamber.Under the proposed water permit regulation, even cities would be responsible for water runoff containing oil drips from cars parked in public parking lots. City representatives said that if they were forced to comply with the new water permitting regulation, they would have to cut more programs.One Size Fits AllSenators on the committee expressed concern with a one-size-fits-all approach to the proposed water permit. Given that the permit would regulate private sector and public sector businesses, the concern was legitimate.However, representatives from several municipalities and groups attached to government appeared more concerned that the costs of complying with the water regulation could not be passed on to taxpayers as a fee or tax increase without a vote of the people.Sen. Michael Rubio, D-Bakersfield, had a polite but contentious discussion with a representative from California Coastkeeper Alliance about the size and scope of the regulation. Coastkeeper advocates for environmental and clean water regulations. Rubio was concerned that the water board’s regulation favors coastal cities, and should not be applied in the same manner to his inland district.“It’s a struggle between two Californias — coastal and rural,” Rubio said. Rubio added that regulatory schemes rarely partner with the poorest parts of California. Yet the poorest, rural parts of California always end up paying the most for the regulations.Wright said that it is apparent that

California agencies don’t care about cost. “Back when people were coming to this state, maybe we could do that. But that’s not happening. We have fewer dollars to play with.”Wright was critical of the attitude within the state’s regulatory agencies. “California is continually leading with our chin,” said Wright. “We are going to end up with clean beaches anyway because there won’t be anyone living here. And it’s not clear that much of what we are doing makes that much of a difference.”#############################

As I reported after the hearing a couple of weeks ago, Senator Wright intends to follow up with a hearing that will bring the Water Board “back on the carpet” in early 2012 to ascertain progress that they have made on revising the regulations. Based on the outcome, he will then likely move forward with accountability legislation. Also as I previously mentioned, the construction component of the regulations is NOT in-play at this time; however, Senator Wright is more than receptive to proposing changes that we can provide to him. I would appreciate any and all suggestions that you may have. Finally, I am once again attaching a copy of the committee’s overview report that was handed out during the hearing.Do the Democrats in the Legislature have the backbone to stand up to the public worker unions on the governor’s pension plan? Or is this all a big ruse as discussed by Dan Walters below? Stay tuned! The Republicans will strongly support in both houses.



By Dan Walters - [email protected]

A few years ago, the California Public Employees’ Retirement System’s chief actuary gave what he assumed was a private briefing and described the huge system’s liabilities as “unsustainable.”A journalist who heard the briefing published an account, thus letting everyone else in on CalPERS’ secret.Officially, of course, the union-dominated CalPERS still contends that its unfunded liabilities are small and it can finance pensions for millions of government retirees and their families, now $20 billion a year, with, at most, only minor tweaks.However, outsiders who have independently examined state and local pension systems have raised red flags about potentially hundreds of billions of dollars in unfunded liabilities.Even union-friendly big city mayors, facing rising pension costs and major budget deficits, are calling for systemic changes, echoing that now-former Cal-PERS actuary’s warning about long-term consequences of doing nothing. Gov. Jerry Brown, who was elected with critical union support last year, weighed in Thursday by proposing a 12-point pension reform plan that could, if enacted, significantly mitigate those consequences. And he used the same word – “unsustainable”

– to describe the pension dilemma.His plan includes higher contributions from employees, higher retirement ages, tightening of retiree eligibility for health care and a partial shift to a 401(k)-type defined-contribution plan.Union officials immediately denounced it, saying, in effect, that they had already agreed to some minor changes in pension benefits and that’s enough.All of which raises this question: Is Brown really serious, or is he merely throwing up something that technically keeps a campaign promise, but that he knows will be trashed by Democratic legislators utterly beholden to the unions?Legislators could take cover in the unions’ position that “we simply cannot stand for imposing additional retirement rollbacks on millions of workers without bargaining.”However, the 1999 bill that hugely increased state pensions was rushed through the Legislature without even the veneer of collective bargaining.In fact, the state’s largest union, the California State Employees Association, declared in a 1999 memorandum that “retirement benefits are not part of the Dills Act (and) CSEA should not be required to bargain for retirement benefits when the money for these benefits is coming from the Public Employees’ Retirement Fund and not state coffers.”Only Brown, who loves political chess, knows for certain whether

pension reform is something he’s willing to go to the mat to accomplish, or just a sacrificial political pawn.But on Thursday he listed at least a half-dozen other issues he deems as more pressing, and his actions will speak louder than words.

DAN WALTERS: IS JERRY BROWN’S PENSION PLAN REAL OR PLOY?



Governor Brown completed actions on 2011 legislation on October 9, 2011. The Governor had a veto rate of 14.3%. There were 889 bills on his desk in 2011. 760 were signed, 128 vetoed, one became law without his signature. Unless otherwise noted, all new laws become effective January 1, 2012.

APPRETICESHIP/CERTIFICATION

AB 554 (Atkins) - Directs the state and local Workforce Investment Boards to ensure that programs and services funded by the Work Investment Act (WIA) are conducted in coordination with apprenticeship programs and would encourage collaboration between community colleges and apprenticeship programs.

AB 1346 (Atkins) - Requires applicants for electrician certification to submit an application for certification and ex-amination that includes an employment history report from the Social Security Administration (SSA). Under the existing certification process, an applicant must have at least four years of experience in the class he/she is applying for to qualify to take the electrical certification examination. Em-ployers are required to withhold a percentage of an employ-ee’s paycheck and remit that amount to the Social Security Administration. As a result, an accurate and complete job history can be confirmed by report from SSA.

CONTRACTOR STATE LICENSE BOARD (CSLB)

AB 397 (Monning) – Requires a licensed contractor with an exemption for workers compensation insurance to recer-tify the exemption upon license renewal or provide proof of

workers’ compensation insurance coverage.

AB 878 (B. Berryhill) – Requires a workers’ compen-sation insurer to report to the Contractors’ State License Board a licensed contractor whose insurance policy it cancels.

SB 543 (Steinberg) – Among numerous provisions, extends the operation of CSLB and related provisions until January 1, 2016.

Passed in 2010, but effective 2012:

SB 392 (Florez) - Allows a limited liability company (LLC) to render contractors services. The law provides that a contractor-LLC obtain and maintain a $1 million insurance policy or place on deposit or escrow $1 million plus an ad-ditional $100,000 per licensee in excess of five employed by the LLC, up to $5 million in total insurance, escrow, or deposit, and provides, if the LLC is suspended, each mem-ber of the LLC who is licensed as a contractor will be liable for up to $1 million in damages occurring as a result of the licensed activities of the LLC during the suspension. CSLB is to begin processing applications for licensure from LLCs by January 1, 2012.

EMPLOYER ISSUES

AB 22 (Mendoza) – Prohibits an employer or prospec-tive employer from using a consumer credit report for em-ployment purposes.

AB 240 (Bonilla) - Authorizes the Labor Commissioner

NEW LAWS FOR 2012 (by category)



(LC) to recover liquidated damages for an employee who brings a complaint alleging payment of less than the mini-mum wage.

AB 147 (Dickinson) - Authorizes a local ordinance to require the payment of a fee subject to the Mitigation Fee Act, as a condition of approval of a final map or as a condi-tion of issuing a building permit for purposes of defraying the actual or estimated cost of constructing other transpor-tation facilities.

AB 204 (Fuentes) - Extends by 24 months the expira-tion date of any tentative map, vesting tentative map or parcel map for which a tentative map or tentative vesting map has been approved that has not expired when this bill becomes effective and that will expire before January 1, 2014. Also extends the expiration date by 24 months for any legislative, administrative or other approval by a state agency relating to a development project included in a map that is extended.

AB 720 (Hall) – Amends the Public Contract Code within the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act, which currently allows any county that has appointed a registered civil engineer as “Road Commissioner,” or has abolished that position and instead has appointed a Direc-tor of Transportation to perform all work on county high-ways by force account or day labor, regardless of cost. In doing so, this measure will ensure that large counties that have voluntarily chosen to utilize the Act, do not abuse the use of the “Road Commissioner” authority while still al-lowing counties the flexibility to address maintenance and emergency issues. The bill allows counties to continue to make their own decisions in regards to how they want to perform highway and road construction projects while

protecting the integrity and intent of the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act. Click Here AB 943 (Williams) - Increases the formal bidding threshold under the Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (UPCCAA) from $125,000 to $175,000.

MECHANICS LIENS

AB 456 (Wagner) - Clarifies that mechanics’ lien claim-ants in construction disputes shall specify in the required affidavit indicating service of the notice of mechanics lien that the notice was served on the owner or reputed owner of the property, consistently with existing obligations re-garding service of these claims.

SB 424 (Rubio) - Gives design professionals providing services for private works of improvement the ability to con-vert a design professionals lien into a mechanics lien.

PREVAILING WAGE/PLA/PUBLIC WORKS

AB 436 (Solorio) – Makes changes to existing law related to a prevailing wage enforcement mechanism in order to address potential legal questions about the fund-ing method of that process. The bill also exempts a school district or covered public entity from having to reimburse DIR for labor compliance activities where the school district or public entity has entered into any collective bargaining agreement that binds all the contractors performing work on the project; i.e.: “PLA’s.”

AB 551 (Campos) - Increases the maximum penalty on contractors and subcontractors who fail to pay the prevail-ing wage from $50 to $200 a day and would increase the minimum penalty (except in certain cases of a good faith mistake) from not less than $10 to not less than $40 a day

NEW LAWS CONTINUED


for prevailing wage violations on a public work.

AB 514 (R. Hernandez) – Existing law provides that prevailing wages are due to construction works for the hauling of materials into a construction site as well as the hauling of refuse off of the site. If refuse is hauled from site and sold as a commodity, prevailing wage does not apply. The bill clarifies “refuse” to include soil, sand, gravel, rocks, concrete, asphalt, excavation, materials and construction debris.

AB 587 (Gordon) - Extends the sunset on the exemp-tion for volunteers on public works project out five years, from January 1, 2012 to January 1, 2017, and also makes findings and declarations on the intent of the Legislature to not undermine the wage base of a community, as well as several non-substantive amendments.

AB 766 (Monning) - Requires nonredacted copies of certified payroll records to be provided upon request to any agency included in the Joint Enforcement Strike Force on the Underground Economy (JESF), and other specified agencies.

SB 117 (Kehoe) - Prohibits a state agency from entering into a goods or services contract worth $100,000 or more, if in the provision of benefits, the contractor discriminates between employees with same or different sex spouses or partners, or discriminates between same or different sex spouses or partners of employees.

SB 136 (Yee) - Expands the definition of “public works” and applies prevailing wage requirements to include con-struction, alteration, demolition, installation or repair work done under private contract when the following conditions exist: The work is performed in connection with the con-

struction or maintenance of renewable energy generation capacity or energy efficiency improvements; the work is performed on the property of the state or a political subdi-vision of the state; either of the following conditions exist: More than 50 percent of the energy generated is pur-chased or will be purchased by the state or a political sub-division of the state. The energy efficiency improvements are primarily intended to reduce energy costs that would otherwise be incurred by the state or a political subdivision of the state.

SB 293 (Padilla) – Requires progress payments be made within seven days instead of the current 10 day requirement of law. In addition, the bill also lowers retention withholdings on public works to no more than five percent as opposed to current 10% limit.

SB 835 (Wolk) – Expands the Best Value Construction Contract Pilot Program (Best Value Pilot Program) to all University of California campus construction projects state-wide valued over $1 million, and extends the sunset date of the Best Value Pilot Program to January 1, 2017.

SB 922 (Steinberg) – Establishes parameters for the use of project labor agreements (PLAs) for publicly-funded construction projects. Denies state funding to any charter city that prohibits project labor agreements (PLA’s) on pub-lic works projects. The law also provides that a process for all other local government jurisdictions provide PLA’s on all public works projects. This provision is not applicable until January 1, 2015, for charter cities in which a charter provi-sion, initiative, or ordinance in effect prior to November 1, 2011, would disqualify a project from receiving state fund-ing or financial assistance.


NEW LAWS CONTINUED


MISCELLAINIOUS

AB 930 (Gordon) - Requires at least one member of the California Building Standards Commission (CBSC) to be experienced and knowledgeable in sustainable building, design, construction, and operation.

AB 1330 (Beall) – Adds career technical education (CTE) as an option for pupils to fulfill the existing high school graduation requirement to complete a course in visual or performing arts (VPA) or foreign language, and re-quires school districts that elect this option to notify parents, teachers, pupils and the public.

SB 474 (Evans) – Eliminates type 1 indemnity provisions in construction subcontracts entered into after January 1, 2013. Under SB 474, which adds a new Section 2782.05 to the Civil Code, a general contractor cannot require a subcontractor to defend against, or provide insurance coverage to defend against, the active negligence or willful misconduct of the general contractor, for defects in de-sign furnished the general contractor, or to the extent the claims to be defended against do not arise out of the scope of work of the subcontractor pursuant to its subcontract. The new law also provides that public agencies or private owners cannot shift to contractors’ liability for the agencies’ or owners’ active negligence (current law precluded only public agencies from shifting liability for their active or sole negligence.) The new law authorizes a general contractor to request that a subcontractor either provide a defense or pay for the general contractor’s defense, but a subcontrac-tor who does so can request reallocation and reimburse-ment of defense costs under certain circumstances, such as where the statute prohibits a defense obligation.

SB 617 (R. Calderon) – Revises various provisions of the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) and requires each

state agency to prepare a standardized regulatory impact analysis, as specified, with respect to the adoption, amend-ment, or repeal of a major regulation, proposed on or after November 1, 2013.

SB 909 (LaMalfa) – Modifies law relating to treated wood waste disposal.

Providing the foundation for a well-built community



In the construction industry, lead exposure is a seri-ous issue that many workers face every day. Lead exposure can occur during a variety of job activities. Lead is common in a wide range of materials includ-ing paints and other coatings, lead mortars, and base metals, which may be welded on or abrasive blasted. Lead presents a potentially serious occupational health hazard when the lead-containing particulates become airborne. Common jobs on a construction site that might expose a worker to lead include:

•Renovating or demolishing structures that have lead-painted surfaces.•Removing lead-based paint or spray painting with lead-based paint.•Sandblasting steel structures that are painted with lead.•Grinding, cutting, or torching metal surfaces that are painted with lead.•Welding, cutting, or removing pipes, joints, or duct-work that contain lead or are painted with lead.•Lead soldering.•Cutting or stripping lead-sheathed cable.•Cleaning up sites where there is lead dust.Exposure to lead occurs through breathing of lead dust, fumes, or mist and by ingestion of lead dust on cigarettes, chewing tobacco, make-up, or food.

How can worker exposure to lead be minimized? Employ-ers of job sites that might contain lead are required by Cal/OSHA to recognize the potential hazard. For example, painted surfaces must be presumed to contain lead until all layers of the paint are sampled and analyzed. The detec-tion of any amount of lead in the paint will trigger numer-ous requirements, even for common tasks such as drywall demolition, manual paint scraping, and manual paint sand-ing. The employer is required to conduct air sampling to determine the exposure to lead during these tasks and

during other tasks that could result in lead exposure. Until actual exposures are determined, workers are required to wear respirators that are appropriate to the task. Detailed requirements are published in the Cal-OSHA standard for lead in construction.

All workers who may be exposed to lead must be trained in the hazards of lead. The results of air sampling are used to determine if workers are exposed to lead above the action level (AL) of 30 micrograms per cubic meter of air or above the permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms of lead per cubic meter of air, averaged over an 8-hour shift. Exposures above the AL or PEL will trigger additional requirements including engineering controls, proper house-keeping, washing facilities for hand and face washing, additional worker training, respiratory protection, medical monitoring, and additional air sampling. The employer must have a written compliance plan.

There are many precautions that workers can take to avoid getting overexposed:

•Use safe work practices such as wetting down paints and coatings to keep dust out of the air.•Change clothes and wash up before eating, drinking, or smoking. Eat, drink, and smoke only in clean areas.•Use personal protective equipment like gloves, special clothing, and a respirator.•Make sure the respirator fits and is worn and maintained properly.•Change clothes and wash up before going home. Lead dust on clothes or in the car could expose the family to lead. Children are more susceptible to lead than adults.Lead may negatively affect the blood system, nervous sys-tem, kidneys, and reproductive organs. A worker who is ex-posed to lead above the action level must have a blood test to determine the amount of lead in the blood. If the blood test results indicate that the worker has been overexposed

to lead, then the worker must be removed from working with lead. The employer must maintain the worker’s earn-ings, seniority, and benefits during medical removal.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------El Plomo en la Construcción

La exposición al plomo en la industria de la construc-ción es un grave problema que muchos trabajadores afrontan diariamente. La exposición al plomo puede ocurrir durante el desempeño de diversos tipos de actividades. El plomo es un elemento común de una amplia gama de materiales, incluidas las pinturas y otros tipos de revestimientos, morteros de plomo y metales básicos que pueden soldarse o ser someti-dos a chorreo abrasivo. El plomo presenta un peligro ocupacional potencialmente grave para la salud cu-ando las partículas que contienen plomo se transmiten por el aire. Entre los trabajos comunes en los que un trabajador de la construcción puede verse expuesto al plomo se incluyen los siguientes:

•Renovar o derribar estructuras que tengan superficies revestidas de pintura con plomo.•Retirar pintura con plomo o pintar con rociador pin-tura de este tipo.•Limpiar con chorro de arena estructuras revestidas de pintura con plomo.•Moler, cortar o quemar con soplete superficies metáli-cas revestidas de pintura con plomo.•Soldar, cortar o retirar tuberías, uniones o conductos que contengan plomo o estén revestidas de pintura con plomo.•Soldar a base de plomo.•Cortar o desforrar cables recubiertos de plomo.•Limpiar lugares en los que haya polvo de plomo.La exposición al plomo se produce al respirar polvo, vapores o vahos de plomo y mediante la ingestión de polvo de plomo en cigarrillos, tabaco de mascar, ma-quillaje o alimentos.

¿Cómo puede reducirse al mínimo la exposición de los

trabajadores al plomo? Cal/OSHA obliga a los empleadores de lugares de trabajo que puedan contener plomo a recon-ocer el peligro potencial. Por ejemplo, se debe suponer que las superficies pintadas contienen plomo hasta que no se hayan analizado muestras de todas las capas de pintura. La detección de una cantidad cualquiera de plomo en la pintura desencadenará numerosos requisitos, incluso para tareas comunes tales como el derribo de láminas de yeso, raspaduras manuales de pintura y lijado manual de pintura. Se obliga al empleador a analizar muestras de aire para determinar la exposición al plomo durante estas tareas y otras que pueden provocar la exposición a plomo. Hasta que se determinen las exposiciones reales, se requiere que los trabajadores lleven puestas mascarillas de respiración adecuadas al trabajo realizado. Los requisitos detallados se publican en la normativa de Cal-OSHA sobre plomo en la construcción.

Todos los trabajadores que puedan verse expuestos al plomo deben ser capacitados sobre los peligros de este elemento. Los resultados de los análisis de muestras de aire se utilizan para determinar si los trabajadores han sido expuestos a plomo por encima del nivel de acción (AL) de 30 microgramos por metro cúbico de aire o por encima del nivel de exposición permisible (PEL) de 50 microgramos de plomo por metro cúbico de aire, promediado durante un turno de 8 horas. Las exposiciones superiores al AL, o al PEL desencadenarán requisitos adicionales, incluidos controles técnicos, higiene adecuada, instalaciones para lavarse la cara y las manos, capacitación adicional para los trabajadores, protección por medio de mascarillas de respiración, supervisión médica y análisis adicionales de muestras de aire. El empleador debe poseer un plan de cumplimiento por escrito.

Son muchas las precauciones que los trabajadores pueden adoptar para evitar la exposición excesiva al plomo:

•Observar prácticas de trabajo seguras, tales como mojar las pinturas y revestimientos para evitar la transmisión de polvo por el aire.•Lavarse y cambiarse de ropa antes de comer, beber o fumar. Comer, beber y fumar solamente en lugares limpios.



•Utilizar equipos protectores personales, tales como guantes, ropa especial y una mascarilla de respiración.•Asegurarse de que la mascarilla se ajuste bien y que se use y mantenga adecuadamente.•Lavarse y cambiarse de ropa antes de irse a casa. El polvo de plomo en la ropa o en su automóvil podría expon-er a la familia al plomo. Los niños son más susceptibles al plomo que los adultos.El plomo puede tener un efecto negativo en el sistema sanguíneo, sistema nervioso, riñones y órganos reproduc-tores. Los trabajadores expuestos al plomo por encima del nivel de acción pueden hacerse un análisis de sangre para determinar la cantidad de plomo en la sangre. Si los resultados de dichos análisis indican que el trabajador ha sufrido una exposición excesiva al plomo, deberá ser reti-rado del trabajo asociado con el plomo. El empleador debe mantener el salario, antigüedad y prestaciones durante el tiempo en que el empleado esté alejado del trabajo por razones médicas.
