I’d like to personally thank all of our attendees at the Charlotte Mid-Winter Show. We had agreat turn out and it was a record breaking success because of you, so to all our Vendors, Spon-sors, Affiliate Members and our Members and everyone who worked so hard to put this show to-gether, thank you, Charlotte is a great venue and we hope to be back soon.

As we get into our Spring District Meetings I encourage everyone to support your Directors andLiaisons by attending your meetings. We have a lot of work to do and much to discuss. The Mar-kets are changing as fast as the Codes. We have huge labor shortages, as well as new tax andcompliance issues at the local, State and Federal levels, all of which affect everyone in some way.

These challenges may seem daunting, but together we have a voice and that’s how we can make a difference. Soplease, show your support by attending your meetings.

Committee work has a lot of forward momentum, but we need your help. If you have someone in your opera-tion who can volunteer, or someone who wants to contribute, please recommend them to the Board or Carla,Committee work is where we can really make a difference in our Association. Our biggest need is our Member-ship Committee we need to expand our base and membership is the lifeblood of the Association so even if youcan’t serve on a committee we still need your suggestions and ideas. CRSMCA has so much to offer and we needto get that word out.

I am looking forward to our Summer Conference in Hilton Head this year. We have an exciting agenda aheadand I hope to see everyone with their families. It’s going to be great, so mark your calendars, some fun in the sunfor everyone! Thank you again for your continued support.

‘Til next time.

The full-day programtrains experienced roof system installers on the safe use of roofing torches used to apply polymer-modified bitumenroofing products. CERTA training shows how proper roof system configuration design and application techniques canresult in fire-safe installations.

Authorized CERTA trainers need to renew their accreditations every three years, and this program provides an op-portunity to complete the required reauthorization. This class is significantly different from the original 10-hour train-the-trainer course. You will advance your training and facilitation skills and demonstrate your skills using a roofingtorch. In addition, you will receive training that specifically addresses the requirements of the CERTA applicator recerti-fication class. You will work through lunch during this six-hour program (a boxed lunch is provided). If you fail to be-come reauthorized within six months of your eligibility expiration date, you will be required to retake the original10-hour CERTA Train-the-trainer Authorization course. CRSMCA members and friends will receive notification as soonas registration is available.

CRSMCA continues to strive to keep you as update as possible with all information pertaining to CRSMCA and theothers within the roofing industry. CRSMCA sends email notifications weekly or bi-monthly, if you would like to beadded or verify your email is included in this notification, please contact me at the CRSMCA office [email protected] or 704.556.1228.

Changes to Reporting RequirementsEffective Jan 1, 2015… Federal OSHA has revised the reporting

requirements in 29 CFR 1904. The N.C. Department of Labor willadopt this change as required by law. The revised rule expands thelist of severe work-related injuries that all covered employers mustreport to the NCDOL Occupational Safety and Health Division. Therevised rule retains the current requirement to report all work-re-lated fatalities within eight hours and adds the requirement to reportall work-related in-patient hospitalizations, amputations and lossesof an eye with 24 hours.

Employers have three options for reporting these sever incidentsto OSHA. They can call their nearest area office during normalbusiness hours, call the 24-hour OSHA hotline at (800) 321-OSHA,or they can report online at www.osha.gov/reportonline. For moreinformation and resources, including a YouTube video, visit OSHA’swebpage (www.osha.gov/recordkeeping2014/) on the updated re-porting requirements.

REMINDER! Employers Must Post 300A Injury/Illness SummaryForm February through April

OSHA is reminding covered employers to post OSHA’s Form300A, which summarizes the total number of job-related injuriesand illnesses that occurred during 2014 and were logged on OSHA’sFrom 300, the log of work-related injuries and illnesses. The sum-mary must be posted between Feb 1 and April 30, 2015, and shouldbe displayed in a common area where notices to employees areusually posted.

Employers with 10 or fewer employees and employers in specificlow-hazard industries are normally exempt from federal OSHA in-jury and illness recordkeeping and posting requirements. Due tochanges in OSHA’s recordkeeping requirements that went into effectJan 1, 2015, certain previously exempt industries are now covered.Lists of both exempt and newly covered industries are available onOSHA’s website. Visit the Updates to OSHA’s Recordkeeping RuleWeb page (https://www.osha.gov/recordkeeping2014/index.html)for more information on recordkeeping requirements.

OSHA Offers New Web Resource for Residential ConstructionEmployers to Protect Workers from Falls

To assist employers in selecting effective fall protection methodsto protect workers in residential construction, a new website(http://www.ot.wustl.edu/fptech/index.htm) provides details aboutequipment highlighted in OSHA’s Guidance Document for Residen-tial Construction (PDF*)

A description or purpose of each fall protection device is listed,as well as the stage of construction where the device could be used,pictures of the device in use, installation instructions, and informa-tion about the manufacturer, vendors, and cost. The site, which in-corporates input from residential construction workers, safetypersonnel, trainers, and contractors, was developed by Dr. VickiKaskutas, a researcher from Washington University School of Medi-cine, with support from the Center for Construction Research andTraining through a National Institute for Occupational Safety andHealth cooperative agreement.

News in the Carolinas (continued from previous page)

NEWS FROM NRCAThe consensus appears to be 2014 was a strong

year in the commercial and industrial sector with growth of perhaps7- or 8%. The residential sector had an odd year as housing startsimproved to more than 1 million, but the repairs and replacementmarket softened attributable, in part, to a lack of significant weatherevents.

Members tell NRCA their backlogs are better than they have beenin years, and industry forecasters are unanimously positive. Theeconomy will be driven by the energy and health care industries; al-though some commercial construction will remain soft, it should beoffset by increased activity in the institutional sector. And manyforecasters see an uptick in warehouse and distribution facilities fu-eled by increases in online retailing.

Forecasters remain optimistic about the residential market, aswell, with many projecting new housing starts will return to pre-re-cession levels by 2017. Leading the improvement: easier credit,continuing moderation in mortgage rates and a backlog of youngadult home buyers.

One other interesting forecast comes from our friends in the solarindustry where the expectation is for solar power output in the U.S.to double in 2015. Much of that activity, of course, involves rooftopinstallations. It’s a good reminder to consider becoming a CertifiedSolar Roofing Professional™ (CSRP™).

With these rosy forecasts, there are some clouds on our horizon.In particular, we expect to see serious shortages of field and man-agement workers; in some parts of the U.S., we’re already seeingshortages. Smart contractors are addressing the issue head on byworking to attract Latino and other minority workers, working withlocal high schools and vocational and technical schools, and reach-ing out to returning veterans and other servicemen and service-women.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has announced it willbe developing regulations for the commercial use of drones. Ac-cording to the FAA, the proposed rules will include the following re-quirements:

• A drone must weigh no more than 55 lbs• A drone must remain in the line of sight of the operator or vi-

sual observer• A drone cannot be flown over people not involved in the drone

operation• There will be a maximum airspeed of 100 mph• The maximum allowable altitude will be 500 feet above

ground level• Drones only can be operated in daylight• Commercial drone operators will be required to pass a basic

aeronautical knowledge test every 24 months, obtain an aircraft op-erator certificate and perform other prescribed tasks

NRCA is developing comments on the proposed rule and encour-age any member with an interest in the subject to share yourthoughts with us. It likely will take a couple of years before the newrules are in effect.

The Roofing Industry Alliance for Progress is accepting applica-tions for the 2015-16 Melvin Kruger Endowed Scholarship Program,offered to employees and family members of NRCA member com-panies who will be attending accredited post-secondary schools.Scholarships of $5,000 per year are offered; details are availablefrom Bennett Judson ([email protected]).

NRCA has officially launched their new app, which is available

free of charge to all NRCA members. The app initially includes nineof our most popular publications, including the 2015 volume of TheNRCA Roofing Manual.

The International Code Council (ICC) has updated and pub-lished revised editions of its model codes, and it is likely code bod-ies will begin the process of updating their codes to be moreconsistent with the model codes.

The International Building Code’s revisions include:• An exemption from fire testing for slate roof systems that meet

certain requirements• New requirements for photovoltaic (PV) shingle roof systems• New requirements for radiant barriers installed above the deck

The International Energy Conservation Code’s revisions include:• New building efficiency requirements• New requirements for reflectivity and emittance• New air barrier requirements

And the International Fire Code’s revisions include new require-ments for rooftop PV system installations.

Look for an article by Mark Graham in a future issue of Profes-sional Roofing that will discuss these revisions in detail.

The National Roofing Legal Resource Center (NRLRC) has an-nounced it will hold its 36th annual legal seminar September 10-12at the Ritz Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation, in Greensboro, Ga,80 miles from Atlanta. NRLRC has developed a new contract provi-sion addressing the release of previously withheld payments by ageneral contractor.

Unmanned Aircraft Systems (commonly referred to as drones) isa popular topic amongst construction professionals. Drones are be-coming widely available to consumers as technology for dronescontinues to advance. Many recent studies and articles expectdrones to have a transformative impact on urban infrastructure man-agement, farming, public safety, coastal security, military training,search and rescue response, and even local delivery services. How-ever, unlike some new technologies, this one is heavily regulated bythe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) causing legal challengesfor companies who wish to use drones as part of their business. Thisarticle will examine some of the recently proposed FAA regulationsregarding commercial use of drones.

On February 15, 2015, the FAA released proposed regulations forthe commercial use of small drones. Although these regulations arestill subject to a public comment period, they give an idea aboutwhat the FAA is thinking about drones and how they intend to regu-late the commercial use of drones both now and in the future. Tosummarize, the proposed FAA regulations state the following:

• Drones in this category must weigh no more than 55 pounds.• Drones must be operated in daylight hours at a maximum air-

speed of 100 miles per hour and at a maximum altitude of 500feet above ground.

• Drones in flight must be within the operator’s visual line ofsight. First-person cameras attached to the drone will not fulfillthis line-of-sight requirement.

• Drones must yield to other aircraft, whether manned or un-manned.

• Operators can only operate one drone at a time and must per-

form a pre-flight inspection prior to liftoff.• Operators must be free and clear of any substance or circum-

stance that may impair his or her ability to safely operate thedrone; operators are also forbidden from any “careless or reck-less” operations.

In addition to the above regulations, there are also proposedrules regarding who qualifies as an “operator” and requirements forthe drone itself. As to operators, these individuals must be at least17 years old and must obtain an unmanned aircraft operator certifi-cate. Operators must also pass an initial aeronautical knowledgetest and continue to pass this test every 24 months. Any incidentsinvolving the drone must be reported under the new regulationswithin 10 days of any injury or damage to property or person. As tothe drone aircraft, FAA airworthiness is still not required; however,proper FAA aircraft markings are a must.

For construction companies and roofers alike, these new regula-tions are important as we continue to contemplate how drones mayimpact the industry. Assuming these regulations become law within2015, companies will be able to safely start developing their droneprograms and hopefully pave the way for innovative uses of dronesin the construction industry.

Special thanks to Perry Wright for his input and expertise on theuse of commercial drones.

Group R is defined in the 2012 NC Building Code in Chapter 3, Use and Oc-cupancy Classification. In section 310 Group R is defined. Basically, Group Rmeans any structure where there are overnight sleeping facilities that are notconsidered Institutional or are not regulated by the International ResidentialCode. Such structures would include the following types of buildings: Boardinghouses, Motels, Hotels, Dormitories, Fraternity/Sorority Houses, Assisted living.See section 310 on the 2012 North Carolina Building Code for complete details.

NC House Bill 201In August of 2014 the NC State Assembly passed House Bill 201. This bill

provides an alternate path for Energy Code compliance for alterations and ad-ditions to certain existing structures not classified as Group R occupancy andhaving received a certificate of occupancy prior to January 1, 2012. In essencethe Bill states that if a building had a certificate of occupancy prior to Jan 1,2012 and it undergoes an alteration (re-roofing), or addition, satisfying thescoping provisions of HB 201, permit holders would be able to use the contin-uous insulation entirely above deck provisions of either the 2009 NC EnergyConservation Code, or the 2012 NC Energy Conservation Code, with thechoice being at the discretion of the permit holder.

Note: All new construction roofs will have to meet the 2012 NC EnergyCode provisions found in Table 502.2 (1).

In the case of additions to existing structures, as long as the addition doesnot exceed 150% of the original structure you may use the 2009 Energy Code.The 2009 North Carolina Energy Conservation Code (NCECC) is based on the2006 International Energy Conservation Code.

For Re-Roofing, when tearing off down to the deck, in North Carolina thatwould be R-15 for Climate Zones 3 and 4 and R-20 For Climate Zone 5.

Below you will see a comparison for “Insulation entirely above deck” be-tween the 2012 North Carolina Energy Efficiency Code versus the requirementsof the 2009 North Carolina Energy Efficiency Code:

This article is intended to provide a brief overview ofthe provisions of the North Carolina Energy ConservationCode that pertain to commercial roofing applications, andis not intended to be a substitute for reading and under-standing the code in its entirety.

North Carolina Codes BackgroundThe North Carolina State Building Code Council is re-

sponsible for developing all state codes. By statute, theCommissioner of Insurance has general supervision overthe administration and enforcement of the North CarolinaState Building Code. The Engineering Division Staff assistthe Building Code Council. Rule proposals are consideredquarterly and anyone may propose a rule change. Finalauthority to adopt criteria rests with the state legislature.Public hearings are conducted quarterly to consider pro-posals and must proceed through the rule making process.

Local units of government enforce the code through thepermit/inspection process for new construction, additions,and alterations. The North Carolina Department of Insur-ance is responsible for general supervision of the effortstatewide. Depending on the size of the local governmentunit, the same individual may be responsible for perform-ing plan reviews and inspections.

The current Building, Fire, Fuel Gas, Mechanical andPlumbing Codes were adopted September 14, 2010 andthe effective date is September 1, 2011. The 2012 NC En-ergy Conservation Code became effective January 1, 2012with mandatory compliance beginning March 1, 2012.

Information and links to the codes are available on theNorth Carolina Department of Insurance website atwww.ncdoi.com. Click on Office of State Fire Marshall,and then click on State Building Codes.

As a contractor you are responsible for compliancewith all applicable codes for the projects you are workingon.

The 2012 North Carolina Energy Conservation Code(NCECC) consists of six chapters and appendices:

• Chapter 1. Administration• Chapter 2. Definitions • Chapter 3. Climate zones• Chapter 4.Residential Energy Efficiency • Chapter 5. Commercial Energy Efficiency • Chapter 6. Referenced Standards• INDEX• Appendix 1. Residential Requirements • Appendix 2. Commercial Building Requirements• Appendix 3. Sample worksheets for Residential air

and duct leakage testing• Appendix 4. Additional voluntary criteria for increas-

ing energy efficiency (High Efficiency Residential Op-tion)

Chapter 3 - 2012 NC Commercial Energy Code ZonesIn chapter three Climate Zones are identified by

county, and R-value requirements for roofing each climatezone are identified in Chapter Five on table 502.2(1)

CRSMCA Announces 2015 Most Valuable Employee Recipients

There is no shortage of care for the communities around us in the roofing industry.The areas we work and live in often depend on the philanthropy of companies to startor complete much needed projects. LEOS (Lenoir Emergency Outreach Shel¬ter) inLenoir, North Carolina recently converted an outdated building into a top of the linehomeless facility to service the emergency needs of individuals and fami¬lies in west-ern North Carolina who need temporary shelter. When Barger Ashe Roofing Com-pany was contacted by local leaders for assistance and guidance re¬garding a muchneeded roof for the shelter, Tom and Roxanne Smith couldn't re¬fuse. Tom Smith,CRSMCA 1st Vice President, quickly contacted suppliers to see if a donated or dis-counted TPO membrane roof could be acquired. Immediately, Troy Kennedy of At-lantic Construction Sales, Inc., made calls and received a do¬nated Firestonepremium .080 TPO thermoplastic membrane for LEOS. Barger Ashe Roofing Com-pany got to work with a six-man crew to complete the reroof¬ing project in time for

the grand opening of the shelter in January 2015. Combined over five thousand dollars in materials and labor were donated towards re-roofing the facility. LEOS now provides a safe dry environment for individuals and fami¬lies in crisis and helps to put then on the road to anew beginning. The help of CRSMCA members made this dream a reality.

Many thanks again this year to the folks at ABC Supply for sponsoring and organizing this year’s 2nd Annual (third overall) CornholeTournament. Andy Abrams (Low-Slope Business Manager – ABC Supply Coastal Carolina District) teamed up with James Terry of Velux Sky-

lights to provide the logistics, back-office negotiations andthe all-important prizes. The comedic duo of Joshua Pen-nington and Erick Houck (think Penn & Teller), both of ABCSupply, acted as shepherds doing their best to herd thebeanbag-tossing cats throughout Wednesday during floorhours. In order to keep the event to just one day, a single-elimination format was employed and the tournament waslimited to 16 teams. Last year’s winners, Roger Trute andSteve Hall of Allied Roofing in Kernersville, made the tripin order to defend their crown but this year’s buzz-saw wasthe team of Jim & Chris Carver of Carver & Sons Roofing.The Carvers were victorious over the team of Darryl Mc-Clelland of Conover Construction & Roofing, Inc and BrianThompson of Metal Fastening Systems in a spirited finalmatch. Be sure and send Darryl a get-well card as he is

likely recovering from being a runner-up for the second year in a row. Next year we will all be in Columbia, SC and I hope that Darryl willmuster the courage to try again to reach the pinnacle of cornhole competition as the Carvers defend their crown. Thanks to all for their par-ticipation and enthusiasm.

(GFCI) Safety TrainingA ground fault circuit interrupter (or GFCI), is a special type of electrical switch or receptacle with a built-

in circuit breaker. Houses and industrial locations built since the 1970’s use GFCI circuits in places wherethe circuit may be exposed to excess moisture. The following facts and tips about ground fault circuit inter-rupters will give you a better idea of how they are used, and why it is in your best interest to have them.

How GFCI WorksA GFCI circuit tester constantly monitors the flow of electricity through the circuit. If the flow spikes, or

the ground becomes unstable, the GFCI will trip a mini circuit breaker built into the unit, and power to thatparticular outlet will be terminated until the GFCI is reset. This can also happen if too much of a load isplaced on a wiring circuit, turning off power at the receptacle rather than at the circuit breaker panel.

Why GFCI is UsedGFCI receptacles have been shown to reduce the danger of electrocution, especially in locations where

contact with water is likely. Building codes have been modified to include GFCI circuits because reducingthe hazard of direct shorts also decreases the hazard of household fire, and that means a safer communityfor everyone to live in.

How to TEST a GFCIThere are 2 buttons on a GFCI, a RESET button and a Test button. Before the first use, press the RESET

button. Plug a device into the receptacle, such as a radio or lamp, and turn the device on. If it works, every-thing is if fine. If the device does not work, press the RESET button to see if the problem is corrected. Ifpower is still not available, check the main circuit breaker, and then inspect the wiring for a possible shortbefore the receptacle.

Where GFCI is RequiredGFCI’s are required by OSHA on your jobsite. In the elements, all receptacles and switches, even those in

weatherproof boxes, should use GFCI circuitry. They are intended to help you protect your workplaceagainst many things, including flooding, and sudden damage to your electrical wiring. The more GFCI’s youhave, the better protected your jobsite and your electrical system will be.

DISCUSSIONNOTES:

• Are GFCI’spresent on yourjob?

• Check allof your electri-cal tools andmake sure thatthey havegrounds.

It is also agood time tocheck all ofyour extensioncords. Makesure that thereare no frays andall the cords arein good condi-tion. Also checkto make surethat the groundprongs are pres-ent.

(GFCI) Formación en materia de seguridadUn interruptor de circuito de falla a tierra (GFCI), es un tipo especial de interruptor eléctrico o recipiente

con un disyuntor. Casas y ubicaciones industriales construidas desde la década de 1970 utilizar circuitosGFCI en los lugares en donde el circuito puedan estar expuestos a un exceso de humedad. Los siguienteshechos y consejos sobre como interruptores de circuito de falla a tierra le dará una mejor idea de cómo seusan, y por qué está en su mejor interés de contar con ellos.

¿Cómo funciona el GFCIUN GFCI circuito probador monitoriza constantemente el flujo de electricidad a través del circuito. Si los

picos de flujo, o en la tierra se vuelve inestable, el GFCI se disparará un mini disyuntor incorporado en launidad, y el poder de esa toma se dará por terminado hasta que el GFCI se restablece. Esto también puedesuceder si demasiado de colocar una carga en un circuito de cableado, cortar la alimentación de la hembraen lugar de en el tablero de disyuntores.

¿Por qué el GFCI se utilizaLos receptáculos GFCI han demostrado para reducir el peligro de electrocución, especialmente en aquel-

los lugares donde el contacto con el agua es probable. Los códigos de construcción se han modificado paraincluir circuitos GFCI porque reduce el riesgo de dirigir cortometrajes también disminuye el riesgo de in-cendio, y que significa una comunidad más segura para todos los que vivan en él.

Cómo probar un GFCIHay 2 botones en un GFCI, un botón de reset y un botón de prueba. Antes del primer uso, pulse el botón

de reinicio. Conecte un dispositivo en un recipiente, como una radio o de la lámpara, y encienda el disposi-tivo. Si funciona, si todo está bien. Si el dispositivo no funciona, pulse el botón de reinicio para ver si elproblema se ha solucionado. Si la alimentación no está todavía disponible, verificar el interruptor principaldel circuito y, a continuación, inspeccione el cableado de un posible corto antes de que el recipiente.

Es necesario que el GFCIEL GFCI son requeridos por OSHA en su obra. En cuanto a los elementos, todos los recipientes y inter-

ruptores, ni siquiera los de intemperie cajas, debe utilizar circuitos GFCI. Están diseñados para ayudarle aproteger su trabajo con-tra muchas cosas, in-cluyendo inundacionesrepentinas y daños en elcableado eléctrico. MásGFCI el que haya, mejorprotegido su obra y susistema eléctrico.

La DISCUSIONNOTA:

• EL GFCI estánpresentes en su trabajo?

• Compruebe todaslas herramientas eléctri-cas y asegurarse de quetienen razón.

También es un buenmomento para revisartodos sus cables de ex-tensión. Asegúrese deque no hay cables pela-dos y todos los cablesestán en buenas condi-ciones. Asegúrese tam-bién de que el suelo laspuntas están presentes.
