SACRAMENTO UPDATENo Pay

No sooner did the Governor veto the democrat majority vote budget, state Controller John Chiang issued an opinion the budget sent to Brown was not balanced; therefore, legislators did not meet their constitutional mandate under Proposition 25 of passing a budget on time and he was denying their pay. Chiang’s action is costing each legislator a bit over $400 per day in missed salary and per diem. Upon the announcement, incredulous legislators took to Twitter and other social media to condemn the Controller. Both democratic caucuses’ held lengthy sessions with the Governor on where to go next and why he vetoed their plan. The Governor insists he still wants to work with republicans on a plan that ultimately provides for an election on whether to extend the temporary taxes set to expire this month. Republicans have said they will sup-port an election if it includes a vote on pension and other government reforms, but they will not vote for an extension “bridge” until the election is held. At some point the pressure of no pay becomes untenable and a budget is agreed to --- probably one with significant cuts and no taxes. And if you thought state legislators had a bad week, some poor soul was tased by Capitol police after hitting a uniformed officer because he was mad he couldn’t see the governor. Ouch.

Bills this Week

AB 720 (Hall) sets forth when force accounts can be used by county road commissioners. The bill passed the Senate Transportation and Housing Committee. The bill was amended to remove the opposition of county governments. The bill goes to the Senate Taxation and Governance Committee next week. GSBE supports this measure.

SB 293 (Padilla) has among its provisions a 5% cap on retention for public works projects. The bill passed the Assembly Business, Professions and Consumer Protection Committee this week and will be heard in the Senate Judiciary Committee next week. GSBE supports this measure.

SB 469 (Vargas) addresses a San Diego issue over development of "superstores" by Wal-Mart and other big retailers. The bill takes the side of grocery store unions and Wal-Mart's competitors who were losing at the local level. The measure would require such stores to undergo economic impact analyses, giving opponents more clout in stopping the development of these retail businesses. The bill is very selectively since it would apply to Wal-Mart but exempt Costco and similar stores. The bill narrowly passed the Assembly Local Government Committee after a not-voting legislator changes his vote to allow the bill to move to the next committee.

SAFETY TOPIC: Demolition Safety PlanningBefore the start of any demolition project, careful preparations must be made to ensure the safety of work-ers on the job and of other individuals within the vicinity of the demolition site. Planning for a demolition project is as important as actually doing the work; and according to Cal-OSHA, a competent person experienced in all phases of the demolition should conduct the demolition planning. Planning should involve the entire demolition operation including methods to be used to bring the structure down, necessary equipment to do the job, and measures to be taken to perform the job safely.

Prior to the start of demolition, an engineering survey must be completed to assess the condition of the framing, floors, and walls to prevent a possible premature collapse of the structure. The demolition contractor is responsible for planning the wreckage of the structure, the equipment to do the work, informing worker of hazards and safety requirements, and public safety. Planning should include necessary safety equipment such as specific respirators, hearing protection, safety nets, lifelines, fall protection, warning signs, eye and face protection, and any other haz-ard protection device needed for the job.

The engineering survey should determine if there are any chemicals, gases, explosives or flammable materials previously used or stored at the work site, which may still present a hazard. Examples include asbestos containing insulation or lead-based paint used in the initial construc-tion. Service and utility companies should be notified in advance of the demolition. Then before demolition begins, electric, gas, sewer, water, steam, and overhead lines etc. must be located and shut off, capped or controlled. If it’s necessary to maintain some of the services, temporary relocation should be performed and all workers notified of the new locations to avoid accidents.

If blasting is planned, a complete written blasting survey must be made by a qualified person. The survey should include the transportation, storage, and inventory of explosives as well as any fire precautions to be taken. A post-inspection of the area should be conducted after the blast to insure that no hazards remain. Enough time should be allowed for dust, smoke, and fumes to leave the blasted area before allowing re-entry into the site.

Emergency preparation is a crucial element of the demolition planning process. Workers should know how to respond to possible emergency situations and evacuation routes should be devised, explained, and posted. Local medical or emergency responding facili-ties should be named and posted in a readily accessible location with phone numbers and addresses. First aid and CPR equipment with the names of on-site certified individuals should also be available on-site.

The demolition area should be clearly marked as such to ensure that only authorized personnel are allowed within restricted areas of the site. All site workers or authorized personnel should be dressed in appropri-ate personal protective wear and be informed of safety practices and emergency procedures.

Cómo Efectuar una Demolición SeguraAntes de comenzar cualquier proyecto de demolición, se de-ben hacer preparativos cuidadosos para asegurar la seguridad de los trabajadores en el sitio de trabajo, así como la seguri-dad de las personas en las cercanías del sitio de la demolición. La planificación del proyecto de demolición es tan importante como su ejecución, y según Cal-OSHA, una persona com-petente y con experiencia en todas las fases de la demolición debe realizar la planificación de la demolición. Esta plani-ficación debe abarcar toda la operación de demolición, in-cluyendo los métodos para derribar la estructura, el equipo necesario para efectuar el trabajo y las medidas a tomar para ejecutar el trabajo con seguridad.

Antes de comenzar la demolición, es necesario llevar a cabo un estudio de ingeniería para evaluar las condiciones de la estructura, los pisos y las paredes para evitar un derrumbe prematuro de la estructura. El contratista de la demolición es responsable de la planificación del derribo de la estructura, de los equipos necesarios para efectuar el trabajo, de infor-mar a los trabajadores de los peligros y los requerimientos de seguridad, y de la seguridad pública. La planificación debe incluir los equipos de seguridad necesarios, tales como equi-pos de respiración, protección para los oídos, redes de seguri-dad, cuerdas de seguridad, protección contra caídas, letreros de aviso, protección para la cara y los ojos, y cualquier otra protección de seguridad que exija el trabajo.

El estudio de ingeniería debe determinar si existen sustancias químicas, gases, materiales explosivos o inflamables, uti-lizados o almacenados anteriormente en el sitio, que puedan presentar un peligro. Por ejemplo, aislamiento que contenga asbesto o pintura a base de plomo utilizada en la construc-ción original. Se debe notificar de antemano la demolición a las empresas de servicios públicos. Y antes de comenzar la demolición, es necesario ubicar las líneas de electricidad, gas, alcantarillado, agua, vapor y líneas elevadas y apagarlas, cer-rarlas, taparlas o controlarlas. Si es necesario mantener el uso de algunos de los servicios, se deben reubicar temporalmente y notificar a todos los trabajadores de la nueva ubicación para evitar accidentes.

Si se planea el uso de explosivos, es obligatorio que una persona calificada haga un estudio completo por escrito de la demolición con explosivos. El estudio debe incluir el transporte, almacenaje e inventario de los explosivos, al igual que cualquier precaución a to-mar contra los incendios. Se deberá hacer una inspec-ción final después de terminada la demolición para asegurar que no quede ningún peligro. Se debe dejar suficiente tiempo para que el polvo, humo y vapores se disipen del área de la explosión antes de permitir que entren personas al sitio.

Los preparativos de emergencia son un elemento cru-cial del proceso de planificación de la demolición. Los trabajadores deben saber cómo responder a situaciones de emergencia y se deben planificar, explicar y publi-car las rutas de evacuación. Los centros médicos o de emergencia locales deben indicarse y anunciarse en un sitio de fácil acceso con los números de teléfono y las direcciones correspondientes. También debe haber disponibles en el sitio de trabajo equipos de primeros auxilios y de reanimación cardiopulmonar (RCP), junto con los nombres de las personas certificadas en su uso.

El área de la demolición deberá estar claramente marcada como tal para asegurar que sólo se permita la entrada del personal autorizado al área restringida del sitio. Todos los trabajadores y personal autorizados deberán usar los equipos de protección apropiados y estar informados sobre las prácticas de seguridad y los procedimientos de emergencia.
