DIR’s Prevailing Wage Rate Determination

System Being Upgraded – Want to

Participate?

The California Department of Industrial

Relations (DIR) is in the process of upgrading

all of its online information systems that are

used to administer and enforce prevailing wage

requirements on public works projects. Two

years ago DIR created a new public works

project registration system using the PWC-

100 form (formerly the DAS-13); and they are

currently making plans to improve that system.

Earlier this year, DIR created an online

registration system for public works contractors

pursuant to SB 854; and they are already

talking about how to improve and upgrade that

system. Currently DIR is also converting its

electronic Certified Payroll Report system into

an electronic data collection system that will

make it easier both for contractors to report and

for DIR and others to use the reported payroll

information.

The next thing they are tackling is their system

for presenting prevailing wage information,

including general wage determinations,

apprenticeship rates, residential rates, and the

myriad notices and footnotes that affect when

or how certain rate requirements are applied.

DIR recognized that the current system is both

antiquated and complicated, and that they could

do a better job of making this information more

accessible to the public.

Interested in Assisting DIR?

DIR has contacted me to ascertain if you or

someone you know would like to be part of

an external user group to provide feedback

on what outside users would hope to get from

DIR’s new system? They are particularly

interested in talking with hands-on users

of this data, including contractor, watchdog

groups, and agency staff members who use the

information for purposes such as calculating

labor costs for a bid, ascertaining the correct

classification for a particular type of work, or

determining whether ongoing work is being

compensated properly. DIR’s current plans

call for the volunteer external user group to

meet in mid-January (1/13 or 1/15) at their

headquarters in Oakland, with a webex

connection for people who can only participate

remotely. Representatives from OPRL,

OD Legal, and DLSE will participate in the

discussion, and members of DIR’s IT staff who

are working to develop the new system will be

present to hear your feedback as well.

If you are interested in attending the focus

group meeting next month, please let Irina

Nemirovsky [email protected] know

by reply e-mail. Again, they are looking for

hands-on users, and if you know of someone

else who would be especially good for this

focus group, please pass this request on to the,

SACRAMENTO – As one good friend

‘heads out to the sunset’ after 14 years, another

comes in to assume the reigns. Thanks, Steve,

for a job well done! Cindi, you are going to

make a great Registrar. The industry is 100%

behind you!

for both, it is my pleasure to announce that

morning to serve as the board’s new Registrar

of Contractors, effective January 1, 2015,

following a nationwide executive search.

“We are pleased and confident with our

decision to promote Cindi Christenson

who, as a 33-year career state executive,

has successfully demonstrated her fiscal,

policy, regulation, legislative, and operational

management abilities,” added Dias. “She also

will have the distinction of serving as CSLB’s

first female Registrar of Contractors, among

the known 15 executives who have served in

this position since 1929.”

Ms. Christenson has served as second

in command for CSLB’s more than 400

employees and eight consumer protection

offices, with direct oversight of the board’s

$60 million budget, operating policies and

procedures, and executive team since 2009.

“My knowledge and appreciation for our state’s

construction industry has grown under Steve

Sands’ leadership,” said Christenson. “We

will continue to meet our consumer protection

mission, and serve as a strong industry partner

in our efforts to curb the underground economy

and establish more streamlined processes for

state licensure.”

Before joining CSLB, Ms. Christenson was

the executive officer for the California Board

of Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors

from 1996 to 2009 and, from 1988 to 1996, was

that organization’s senior engineering registrar.

She also worked with the state Department of

Water Resources as an associate mechanical

engineer from 1981 to 1988.

Ms. Christenson received her juris doctorate

from the Lincoln Law School of Sacramento

in 2003, and is a licensed mechanical engineer

after earning her Bachelor of Science degree

in Mechanical Engineering from California

Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo.

She and her husband, Michael, are residents of

El Dorado Hills, CA.

The Contractors State License Board

operates under the umbrella of the California

Department of Consumer Affairs. CSLB

licenses and regulates about 290,000

contractors in California, and is regarded

as one of the leading consumer protection

agencies in the United States. In fiscal year

2013-14, CSLB helped recover nearly $51

million in ordered restitution for consumers.

TAX REFORM WINS OVER GAS TAX

HIKE

Americans seem to be on the same page as

many lawmakers in at least one area - support

for using corporate tax reform to shore up

the Highway Trust Fund instead of a gas tax

hike. About three-quarters of people surveyed

support corporate tax reform and two-thirds

oppose a gas tax hike, according to a poll

released last week. After reading arguments for

and against corporate tax reform - which could

be used to pay for infrastructure improvements

- 76 percent of respondents agreed that

“Congress should pass corporate tax reform.”

24 percent were opposed. On the gas tax, 67

percent of those polled said Congress should

not change the 18.4 cents per gallon gasoline

tax rate, and 33 percent said the tax should be

raised by 15 cents.

Sound familiar? As Congress enters 2015

trying to grapple with how to fund highway

and transit programs past May, 2015, the

poll mirrors what many lawmakers and

President Obama have said would be the best

way to solve the long-term funding crisis.

Both the administration and some top House

Republicans have suggested dedicating revenue

from a tax on U.S. firms’ overseas earnings

to the Highway Trust Fund for a number of

years. And while there is a small and dedicated

coalition supporting a gas tax hike, most say

that corporate tax reform is the easiest way to

raise the roughly $100 billion needed for a long-

term surface transportation bill. Paul Ryan,

the incoming chairman of the House Ways

and Means Committee (the panel tasked with

transportation funding), has also said he’s open

to the idea. While tax reform may be more

politically palatable than a gas tax increase, it’s

also a very heavy lift - the last time Congress

was able to significantly overhaul the tax code,

Ronald Reagan was president.

Meeting Set January 14th With Senator

Hertzberg to Discuss His SB 8

Following on last week’s article about the

introduction of SB 8, which would replace

Proposition 30 with a new tax on services

that would generate $10 billion per year, I am

meeting, along with several of my colleagues,

with Senator Hertzberg on January 14th. This

will be a very interesting meeting whose

outcome I will report back to you on!

Happy New Year to everyone!

New California Employment Laws for 2015

Below are summaries of some of the most important new employ-

ment laws that Governor Brown signed into law this year. Each of

the summaries is brief, focusing on the gist of the bill, while some

of the bills have additional provisions that are not mentioned. Links

are provided to the full text of each of the bills for those wanting to

know in detail the provisions of the new law.

Employers are encouraged to review these laws with manage-

ment and supervisors to ensure that existing policies and em-

ployee handbooks are updated to comply with the new laws. As

always, we are available answer any questions on how these new

laws may impact your businesses individually.

Sick Leave

Mandatory Paid Sick Leave (AB 1522)

Beginning on July 1, 2015, the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Fami-

lies Act will require that all California employers allow employees

who work 30 or more days within a calendar year to accrue paid

sick leave. Employees must be allowed to use paid sick leave

after 90 days following the first day of work. There is no exemp-

tion for small employers. Further, this statute applies to all

employees, including exempt, non-exempt, temporary, sea-

sonal, and part-time employees. There are very limited excep-

tions for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements

that meet certain conditions, employees that provide in-home

support care, and certain employees of air carriers.

Sick pay must be accrued at the rate of no less than 1 hour of sick

leave for every 30 hours worked. Alternatively, to avoid the burden

of tracking hours, employers may choose to offer paid sick leave

in a lump sum (e.g., providing three days of sick leave up front at

the beginning of each year). For purposes of this statute, exempt

employees are deemed to work 40 hours per week, unless their

normal workweek is less than 40 hours.

Employers may choose to limit the use of paid sick leave to 3 days

(or 24 hours) per year. Employers may also choose to limit the

accrual of paid sick leave to 6 days (or 48 hours) per year. Unused

sick pay may be carried over into another year up to the permissi-

ble cap of 6 days (or 48 hours) per year. If employment terminates

and employee is rehired within one year, any accrued unused sick

leave must be reinstated.

Sick leave may be used for the diagnosis, care, or treatment of an

existing health condition of, or preventive care for, an employee or

an employee’s family member. The definition of “family member”

is broad and includes, parents-in-law, grandparents, grandchil-

dren, and siblings, among other persons. Sick leave may also be

used for victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking.

Employers are required to provide written notice on designated

pay dates that sets forth the amount of paid sick leave benefits

available to the employee. This notice may be given to the em-

ployee on either the itemized wage statement or in a separate

document.

Employers must keep for at least three years records document-

ing the hours worked and paid sick days accrued and used by

Special thanks to Skip Daum of Capitol Communications Group for his assistance in sifting through and summarizing bills.

New Construction Laws for 2015

Over 4200 bills were introduced by the California Legislature in the 2013-2014 session. Below are summaries of some of the more important bills affecting contractors in their roles as contractors, effective January 1, 2015 unless otherwise noted. Many other bills will impact them in other roles, such as being businesses, taxpayers, and employers. For MLC’s Law Note reporting on changes in the laws affecting employers in 2015, please visit our website’s Employment Law Notes page. Each of the summaries are brief, focusing on the gist of the bill, while most of the bills have additional provisions that are not mentioned. Links are provided to the full text of each of the bills for those wanting to know in detail the provisions of the new law. Lastly, reference is made to failed bills that are likely to be revisited next session.

Retention Cap Protection 5% retention cap loophole closed. AB 1705 (Williams D) SB 293 last year capped, through the end of 2015, public works retention at 5% with certain exceptions including a finding by the public entity that the project is “substantially complex”. Entities started immediately abusing this law by finding essentially every project to be “substantially complex”. This law extends the operation of these provisions to January 1, 2018 and requires that the bid documents include details explaining the basis for any “substantially complex” finding. This transparency will allow contractors to challenge unfounded findings and enforce the 5% retention cap.

Design-Build Design-build projects continue to gain ground in California. New health care district authorized to use design-build. SB 268 (Gaines R) Each health care district has specific duties and powers respecting the creation, administration, and maintenance of the districts, including to purchase, receive, take, hold, lease, use, and enjoy property of every kind and description within and without the limits of the district. This law authorizes the Last Frontier Health Care District to use this design-build process when contracting for the construction of a building and improvements directly related to a hospital or health facility building at the Modoc Medical Center. Transit design-build authority extended. SB 1433 (Hill D) The Local Agency Public Construction Act until January 1, 2015, authorizes a transit operator, as defined, to enter into a design-build contract, as specified. Current law requires certain information submitted in this regard to be provided under penalty of perjury. This law extends the authorization for a transit operator to enter into a design-build contract until January 1, 2017.

each employee, and make such records available for employee

inspection, if requested.

Employers may not deny an employee the right to use accrued

sick days, discharge, threaten to discharge, demote, suspend,

or in any manner discriminate against an employee for using or

attempting to use accrued sick days. The law creates a rebut-

table presumption of unlawful retaliation if an employer takes an

adverse employment action within 30 days of an employee’s: (1)

filing a complaint with the Labor Commissioner or in court alleging

violations of the new law; (2) cooperating with an investigation or

prosecution of an alleged violation of the new law; or (3) opposing

a policy, practice, or act that is prohibited by the new law.

Notice Requirements

Beginning on January, 1, 2015 – even though the law does not

take effect until July 1, 2015 – employers are required to post a

sick leave rules poster. Click here for a poster template. Employ-

ers are required to display this poster in a conspicuous place in

each workplace of the employer. Employers who willfully violate

the posting requirements will be subject to a civil penalty of not

more than $100 per offense.

Accordingly, employers who do not currently provide their employ-

ees with sick leave must do so by July 1, 2015. Employers with

existing PTO or sick leave policies should review those policies

to ensure they are in compliance with the new law, including the

notice, posting, and record-keeping requirements. Failure to follow

the new law will subject employers to significant penalties.

This law establishes minimum requirements and does not pre-

empt or limit other applicable laws that provide greater sick leave

benefits (such as San Francisco’s paid sick leave ordinance).

Employers that have employees work within the city limits of San

Francisco must ensure that their paid sick leave policies also com-

ply with San Francisco’s paid sick leave ordinance.

Work-Related Injury

Employers May Report Serious Injuries to OSHA by E-mail (AB

326)

Existing law requires all employers to file a complete report for

every work-related injury or illness with the Department of Indus-

trial Relations. Existing law also requires all employers to make an

immediate report by telephone to the Department or Cal-OSHA of

any serious injury, illness or death of an employee. This bill autho-

rizes employers to report all serious work-related injuries, illnesses

and deaths to CAL-OSHA by email in addition to telephone.

Employer Vicarious Liability

Client Employers Utilizing A Labor Contractor May Be Held Jointly

Liable for Agency’s Violations of Labor Laws (AB 1897)

Effective January 1, 2015, client employers will share civil respon-

sibility and civil liability with a labor contractor’s violations of labor

law such as failure to pay wages or failure to provide workers

compensation benefits. A “client employer” is a business entity

that obtains workers through a labor contractor to perform labor

within the employer’s usual course of business. Exempted from

this law are employers with a workforce of less than 25 workers or

businesses with five or fewer workers supplied by a labor con-

tractor at any given time. This law also does not apply to exempt

employees.

Client employers are allowed to enter into indemnification agree-

ments with its labor contractor to shift liability to the labor con-

tractor for liability created by acts of the labor contractor. Labor

contractors may also enter into indemnification agreements with

client employers shifting liability to the employer for liability created

by acts of the employer. Employers cannot, however, shift liability

to labor contractors for the employer’s responsibilities and obliga-

tions under Cal-OSHA.

The implications of this statute are significant in that employees of

labor contractors with wage claims will now have two pockets from

which they can recover damages, penalties, and attorney’s fees.

Anti-Discrimination

Public Contract Bidder Must Certify that It Will Not Ask Employ-

ment Applicants About Conviction History (AB 1650)

This bill enacts the Fair Chance Employment Act, which requires

any person submitting a bid for a state contract involving onsite

construction-related services to certify that the person will not

ask an applicant for onsite construction-related employment to

disclose information concerning his or her conviction history on or

at the time of an initial employment application. The act does not

apply to a position for which a person or state agency is otherwise

required by state or federal law to conduct a conviction or crimi-

nal history background check or to any contract position with a

criminal justice agency. This act does not apply to a person to the

extent that he or she obtains workers from a hiring hall pursuant to

a bona fide collective bargaining agreement.

City of San Francisco Enacts Fair Chance Ordinance Which

Regulates Employers’ Ability to Ask Applicants and Current Em-

ployees About Criminal Background (Ordinance 17-14)

San Francisco’s Fair Chance Ordinance (SFFCO) which became

effective on August 13, 2014 regulates certain employers’ ability

to inquire about an applicant’s arrest and conviction records. The

SFFCO applies to employers who are located in or doing busi-

ness in the City of San Francisco and have 20 or more employees

regardless of the employees’ locations. Additionally, the SFFCO

applies to “City Contractors” or entities or businesses, regard-

less of size, that contract with the City of San Francisco for public

works projects. Therefore, this Ordinance would apply to contrac-

tors and subcontractors that work on public works projects within

San Francisco City limits.

Specifically, the SFFCO prohibits the following:

Prohibits employers from issuing job ads or solicitations stating

that persons with arrests or convictions may not apply or will not

be considered for employment.

Prohibits questions about, seeking records of, or consideration

of, the following six categories of information at any time in the

interview or hiring process: (1) an arrest not leading to a convic-

tion, except for unresolved arrests, (2) participation in a diversion

the applicant.

Requires the employer to provide the applicant with a copy

mitigating circumstances factors or inaccuracies in the report.

Requires the employer to inform the applicant if he/she decides

to take an adverse action based on the applicant’s unresolved ar-

rest or conviction history.

The Ordinance also requires employers to maintain records re-

garding all job postings, hiring notes, and background checks.

Nondiscrimination for Undocumented Persons With Driver’s

Licenses (AB 1660)

Beginning on January 1, 2015, the California DMV will begin issu-

ing driver’s licenses under AB 60, which was passed last year, to

undocumented immigrants. AB 1660 clarifies issues and provides

rights to immigrants who obtain a driver’s license without estab-

lishing citizenship. These immigrants are now afforded protec-

tions under existing anti-discrimination statutes. These driver’s

licenses will be marked with “federal limits apply” on the front of

the license. These licenses cannot be used to establish eligibility

to work when completing the I-9 form.

This bill makes it illegal under the California Fair Employment and

Housing Act (FEHA) to discriminate against employees who pres-

ent these licenses for employment purposes. Employers should

also be aware that this bill requires the employer to keep the

driver’s license information private and confidential.

The bill also provides that it is a violation of FEHA for an employer

to require a person to present a driver’s license, unless possess-

ing a driver’s license is (1) required by law; or (2) required by the

employer and the employer’s requirement is otherwise permitted

by law.

Employers With Greater Than 50 Employees Must Now Include

“Abusive Conduct” Training in Mandatory Sexual Harassment

Prevention Training Program (AB 2053)

Since 2005, employers with 50 or more employees have been

required to provide 2 hours mandatory sexual harassment

prevention training to all supervisors and managers once every

two years, and to new supervisors within 6 months of their newly

acquired supervisory status. AB 2053 requires these same

employers to include a component on the prevention of “abusive

conduct” in this same training, beginning January 1, 2015. “Abu-

sive conduct” is defined as conduct of an employer or employee

in the workplace, with malice, that a reasonable person would find

hostile, offensive, and unrelated to an employer’s legitimate busi-

ness interests. The statute further provides that abusive conduct

may include repeated infliction of verbal abuse, such as the use

of derogatory remarks, insults, and epithets, verbal or physical

conduct that a reasonable person would find threatening, intimi-

dating, or humiliating, or the gratuitous sabotage or undermining

of a person’s work performance. However, “a single act shall not

constitute abusive conduct, unless especially severe and egre-

gious.”

This new law does not mean that an employee can sue for

abusive conduct in the workplace unless, of course, the conduct

becomes discrimination or harassment against a protected class.

The law merely requires training on prevention of abusive con-

duct.

Minimum Wage

New Minimum Wage for San Francisco, Oakland and San

Jose

All employers need to be aware of the following new local mini-

mum wages that will go into effect in 2015:








1 of 4







San Francisco – On November 4, 2014, the voters of San

Francisco passed Proposition J raising the local minimum wage

in San Francisco to $15.00/hour by 2018. Thereafter, annual

minimum wage increase will follow the consumer price index. The

minimum wage will increase according to the following schedule:

Effective Date Minimum Wage Rate

1/1/2015 $11.05

5/1/2015 $12.25

7/1/2016 $13.00

7/1/2017 $14.00

7/1/2018 $15.00

July 1st Each Following Year CPI Increase

Oakland – On November 4, 2014, the voters of Oakland

passed Measure FF which shall increase the local minimum wage

in Oakland to $12.25/hour effective March 2, 2015. The minimum

wage shall increase yearly depending on inflation.

San Jose – On November 6, 2012, the voters of San Jose

passed Measure D which will raise the local minimum wage in

San Jose to $10.30/hour effective January 1, 2015. The minimum

wage will increase yearly depending on cost of living.

Labor Commissioner May Cite Employers Who Fail to

Pay Minimum Wage Waiting Time Penalties (AB 1723)

Existing law authorizes the Labor Commissioner to award liqui-

dated damages and other penalties against employers who fail

to pay minimum wages. AB 1723 expands the existing law to

authorize the Labor Commissioner to award waiting time penalties

for an employer’s willful failure to timely pay wages of a resigned

or discharged employee.

Employees Have Three Years In Which to Seek Liquidated

Damages Against Employers Who Fail to Pay Minimum Wage

(AB 2074)

Last year, the legislature passed AB 442 which authorized em-

ployees to recover liquidated damages from employers who fail

to pay minimum wage. Liquidated damages are defined as the

amount equal to the wages unlawfully unpaid and interest there-

on. One Court of Appeal found that while employees’ wage claims

would be subject to a three-year statute of limitations, the employ-

ees’ claims for liquidated damages based on those claims would

only have a one-year statute of limitation. (Bain v. Tax Reducers,

Inc., 219 Cal. App. 4th 110 (2013).

AB 2074 supersedes the Bain decision and clarifies that employ-

ees seeking liquidated damages for minimum wage violations

would now be subject to the same three-year statute of limitations

that the underlying wage claim would have. To illustrate, employ-

ees suffering minimum wage violations

occurring now would have until 2017 to file suit for the unpaid

wages and penalties as well as liquidated damages.

Recovery Periods

Recovery Periods Taken By Employees Must Be Compensated

(SB 1360)

Last year, the Legislature passed a bill was passed that requires

employers to provide non-exempt employees a “recovery period,”

or cool down period, of no less than 5 minutes to prevent heat

related illnesses. Failure to provide employees with a recovery

period subjects employers to a one hour wage penalty for each

day a recovery period is refused upon request.

This bill clarifies that the time taken by employees for recovery

periods should be counted as hours worked and paid. The time

should also be taken into account when calculating overtime.

Prevailing Wage Law Update

Post-Construction Work At Public Works Project Must Be Paid At

Prevailing Wage (AB 26)

This statute clarifies that post-construction phases of a public

works project, including cleanup work, is considered part of the

project and must be compensated at the prevailing wage.

Contractors May Sue Hiring Parties For Increased Labor Costs,

Penalties, and Legal Fees if Project Is Later Determined To Be a

Public Works Project (AB 1939)

Contractors may now sue hiring parties for any increased costs

for labor, penalties, and legal fees incurred as a result of any

decision by the Department of Industrial Relations, the Labor and

Workforce Development Agency, or a court that classifies the

work as a public work after the contractor has entered into a con-

tract for the work or begun the work. If the hiring party provided

notice to the contractor before entering the contract that the work

would be classified as a public work, this section does not apply.

Period that Labor Commissioner May Assess Wage Penalties

Against Contractors of Public Works For Prevailing Wage Vio-

lations Is Tolled If Awarding Bodies Do Not Provide Notice of

Completion (SB 266)

Under Labor Code 1741, the Labor Commissioner may, within

18 months following the Notice of Completion, assess civil wage

penalties against contractors or subcontractors who violate the

prevailing wage laws. This bill requires the body awarding the

contract for a public work to furnish, within 10 days after receipt

of a written request from the Labor Commissioner, a copy of the

valid Notice of Completion for the public work or a document

evidencing the awarding body’s acceptance of the public work

on a particular date, whichever occurs later. If the awarding body

fails timely to furnish the Labor Commissioner with the applicable

document, the period within which the Labor Commissioner may

assess penalties against contractors is tolled until the Labor Com-

missioner’s actual receipt of the applicable document.

Grants Received From Council Must Be Divided Between Multi-

employer Apprenticeship Programs (AB 1870)

This bill requires that if there are two or more approved multiem-

ployer apprenticeship programs serving the same craft or trade

in the geographical area for which the training contributions were

made to the council, the grant is required to be divided among all

those programs based on the number of apprentices registered in

each program.

Driver Safety – Winter Driving

Fair or foul weather driving always presents hazards. But winter months present drivers with conditions that are far different from those they face during the rest of the year. Brakes:

• Know your brakes: When your brakes lock up on wet and slippery roads or during a panic stop, you lose steering control and your vehicle can spin.

• Anti Lock Braking Systems (ABS): In vehicles equipped with ABS, the driver's foot remains firmly on the brake pedal, allowing the system to automatically pump the brakes. Rear wheel ABS prevents wheel lockup so your car stays in a straight line. If your car has ABS control on all four wheels, you also keep steering control. If you have steering control, it is possible to avoid a crash by steering around hazards if a complete stop cannot be accomplished in time.

• Get the feel of the road: While braking or accelerating, do so gently. Be aware of how slippery the road is and adjust your speed accordingly. Rising temperatures greatly increase the slipperiness of ice and snow.

• Brake before curves: All vehicles are particularly sensitive to over-powering and over-braking on curves. Unseen hazards around the bend may require an evasive action, so turn your steering wheel slowly and smoothly, keep a constant speed in the turn, and pump your brakes carefully if it's necessary to slow down or stop.

• Stretch your "following" distance: Knowing that winter surfaces increase stopping distance three to 12 times, the smart driver increases their normal dry road following distance. Heavy trucks require a longer stopping distance on slippery roads than passenger cars. Remember… don't tailgate.

SAFETY


www.marinba.org




Tires:

• Make sure you have the right tires: Tires with deep treads are essential for safe cornering and handling on slippery roads. Check the air pressure frequently to maintain the manufacturer's recommended pressure.

Visibility:

• Be able to see and be seen: Clean all the snow and ice off of your windshield, other windows, outside mirrors, lights, and reflectors.

• Make sure your vehicle is equipped with good wipers: Check that wiper arms exert enough pressure on the blades to ensure a clean sweep. If moisture or ice builds up on the inside or outside of your windshield, stop and clean it off.

Lights:

• Use proper lights: Never drive with parking lights instead of headlights during late winter afternoons or in the early evening. Parking lights can cause an oncoming driver to think you are farther away than you are. Keep headlights clean; dirty headlights can greatly reduce your long-distance vision at night.

Lastly, assure that you and your vehicle are prepared for winter weather with emergency gear and proper tires, chains, and excellent vehicle maintenance.

Seguridad al conducir – En invierno

Conducir en clima bueno o malo siempre implica riesgos. Pero los meses de invierno presentan a los conductores condiciones que son muy diferentes a las que enfrentan durante el resto del año.

Frenar:

• Conozca sus frenos: Cuando se bloquean sus frenos en las carreteras mojadas o deslizantes o al frenar de emergencia, pierde el control de dirección y su vehículo puede sufrir un trompo.

• Sistemas de frenos antibloqueo (ABS): En vehículos que cuentan con ABS, el pie del conductor permanece firmemente sobre el pedal del freno, permitiendo que el sistema bombee los frenos automáticamente. El ABS de las ruedas traseras evitan el bloqueo de la rueda, de tal modo que su vehículo continúa en línea recta. Si las cuatro ruedas de su vehículo tienen control de ABS, también mantiene el control de dirección. Si tiene el control de dirección, es posible evitar una colisión por medio de manejar para eludir peligros si no puede parar a tiempo.

• Familiarícese con la carretera: Al frenar o acelerar, hágalo suavemente. Tenga en cuenta qué tan deslizante es la carretera y modifique su velocidad en consecuencia. Cuando sube la temperatura, hace que el hielo y la nieve sean mucho más deslizantes.

• Frene antes de las curvas: Todos vehículos son particularmente sensibles a acelerar y frenar demasiados en curvas. Si hay algún peligro sorpresivo a la vuelta de la curva, puede ser necesaria una acción evasiva, así que gire el volante suavemente y lentamente, mantenga una velocidad constante al virar y bombee el freno con cuidado si es necesario desacelerar o detenerse.

• Aumenta la distancia con el vehículo de enfrente: Al saber que las superficies en invierno hacen que aumente la distancia de frenado entre tres y doce veces lo normal, un conductor inteligente aumenta la distancia que normalmente usa en carreteras secas. En carreteras deslizantes, los camiones pesados pueden requerir una distancia de frenado mayor que los vehículos de pasajeros.

SAFETY


www.marinba.org




Neumáticos:

• Asegúrese de tener los neumáticos correctos: Para virar y maniobrar de forma segura en las carreteras deslizantes, los neumáticos con un dibujo profundo son esenciales. Revise frecuentemente la presión de aire para mantener la presión recomendada por el fabricante.

Visibilidad:

• Poder ver y ser visto. Limpie toda la nieve y el hielo del parabrisas, otras ventanillas, espejos exteriores, luces y reflectores.

• Asegúrese de que su vehículo esté equipado con buenos limpiaparabrisas: Revise que los brazos del limpiador ejerzan presión suficiente en los limpiadores para garantizar una buena limpieza. Si se acumulan la humedad o el hielo dentro o fuera del parabrisas, deténgase y límpielo.

Luces: • Use las luces correctas: Nunca conduzca con las luces de estacionamiento en lugar

de los faros durante las tardes o mañanas de invierno avanzado. Las luces de

estacionamiento pueden hacer que un conductor que se aproxima piense que está más lejos de lo que en realidad está. Mantenga limpios los faros; los faros sucios reducen mucho su visibilidad de larga distancia de noche.

Prepárese: Asegúrese de que usted y su vehículo estén preparados para el clima de invierno con equipo de emergencia y neumáticos adecuados, cadenas y un excelente mantenimiento del vehículo.

ReadyMarin.orgTraining and education to keep you and your family safe,

warm, and fed in the event of a disaster

In the event of an emergency, our first responders will be overwhelmed. It is critical for citizens to be prepared to take care of themselves, their neighbors, and their community for at least 3 days, and preferably 5-7.

ReadyMarin.org is Marin County’s website for information on emergency preparedness, whether you are just learning or an experienced emergency volunteer. Our mission is to provide guidance, training and resources to keep you and your family safe during an emergency, whether it requires you to evacuate or shelter in place. You will find information and links to resources, checklists, and training opportunities. Let’s get prepared.

Plan & Prepare

Learn what supplies you should store at home, work, and in your car to take care of yourself and your family for 5-7 days. Download our checklists and get started.

ReadyPets

Your pets depend on you to be prepared to help them in an emergency. Whether you are staying in your home or leaving, a little planning will go a long way.

ReadyKids

Tips for preparing you and your children in a disaster. Kits, games, contact information cards. We have the resources you need.

Get Ready Training

Get Ready is a county-sponsored 2-hour training, facilitated by our local Fire Departments and community volunteers, that will provide you with an overview of how to prepare your family and home.

Community Emergency Response Team (CERT)

For those of you who wish to step beyond preparing your home and reach out to help your community in an emergency, train to be a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) member.

Resources

We have listed great resources and links to help you prepare to whatever level you wish.

This project is supported by US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) FY2011 Homeland Security Grant #97-067 awarded by the State of California Office of Homeland Security (Cal OES).
