Cal/OSHA Enforcing Heat Illness Prevention as Heat Spikes Across the State
As temperatures rise across Cali-fornia on this first day of summer, the Department of Industrial Re-lations’ Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal-OSHA) is stepping up enforcement of heat illness prevention requirements at outdoor worksites across the state. “While we have seen growing compliance with the heat illness prevention regulations, all em-ployers must continue to be vigi-lant and take necessary precau-tions to prevent serious worker illness and death due to high heat,” said Cal/OSHA Chief El-len Widess. “We will be out there across the state, ensuring that all employers are complying with the heat standard.

EMERGENCY WASH STATIONS
Many new chemical products are introduced into the workplace each year and even with careful planning and safety measures, harmful chemical-exposure accidents occur. Because of the potential for exposure, a list of all hazardous substances should be maintained at each worksite. Material Safety Data Sheets on these substances should be readily available with substance descriptions including their location, risks, manufacturer’s precautions, and treatment or antidote measures should there be a harmful exposure.
Emergency wash fixtures must be provided in the workplace if there is a reasonable risk that workers may be exposed to caustic chemicals or other hazardous substances. All workers at risk for exposure should be made aware of the location and purpose of the emergency wash stations and receive regular training on their use. Keep in mind that emergency wash fixtures are not substitutes for personal protective gear like safety eyewear, face shields, and protective clothing.
Some chemicals have a harmful reaction when mixed with another substance and may endanger the handler or those in the area. You can counteract a reaction by having emergency wash stations or showers that provide large amounts of continually flowing water to flush the chemical. It is not recommended that neutralizing agents be used on the eyes or skin. Combining certain chemicals can be dangerous, and may increase the damaging effects of chemical burns or develop scar tissue if the wrong neutralizing agent is accidentally used.
The most effective first step in treating chemical contamination of the eye or skin is immediate flushing or washing with potable water. This and the selection and placement of emergency wash stations or showers, are among the most crucial steps you can take in effective emergency response.
Medical experts say that immediate access to an emergency wash station is critical. The chance of full recovery from chemical contamination of the eye is excellent, if the victim reaches an eyewash station within 10 to 15 seconds. Panic, pain, and obscured vision will slow response time, so it is important that emergency wash fixtures be highly visible.
The length of time and amount of flushing or washing is key to the successful treatment of the eye or skin. The minimum amount of time for flushing the eye is 15 minutes, although most medical experts say a full 20 to 30 minutes of flushing time is best. It is important that the water pressure of the eyewash station be closely regulated because tender eye tissue can be easily damaged.
With the help of a trained medical professional, establish first-aid procedures for chemical injuries then review and update these measures and all safety precautions on a regular schedule.

ESTACIONES DE LAVADO DE EMERGENCIA
Todos los años aparecen en el lugar de trabajo muchos productos químicos nuevos y, a pesar de una cuidada planificación y de las medidas de seguridad tomadas, se producen accidentes en los que las personas se ven expuestas a productos químicos nocivos. Debido al potencial de exposición, cada lugar de trabajo debe disponer de una lista de todas las sustancias peligrosas. Las Hojas de Datos sobre Seguridad de Materiales referentes a estas sustancias deben estar fácilmente disponibles y en ellas deben constar descripciones de las sustancias, incluida su ubicación, riesgos, precauciones del fabricante y las medidas de tratamiento o antídoto en caso de producirse una exposición peligrosa a dicha sustancia.
El lugar de trabajo debe poseer estaciones de lavado de emergencia siempre que exista un riesgo razonable de que los trabajadores puedan verse expuestos a productos químicos cáusticos o a otras sustancias peligrosas. Todos los trabajadores sometidos a este riesgo deben conocer la ubicación y propósito de las estaciones de lavado de emergencia y ser capacitados con regularidad acerca de su uso. Adviértase que las estaciones de lavado de emergencia no son sustitutivas de los equipos de protección personal, tales como anteojos, máscaras protectoras y ropa de seguridad.
Algunos productos químicos reaccionan de una manera peligrosa cuando se mezclan con otra sustancia y pueden poner en peligro al usuario o a las personas a su alrededor. Se puede combatir la reacción si se dispone de duchas o estaciones de lavado de emergencia que proporcionen cantidades abundantes de agua que fluyan continuamente para eliminar el producto químico. No se recomienda el uso de agentes neutralizadores en los ojos ni en la piel. La combinación de ciertos productos químicos puede resultar peligrosa e incrementar los efectos perjudiciales de las quemaduras químicas o causar cicatrices en la piel si, accidentalmente, se utiliza un agente neutralizador inadecuado.
Lavarse de inmediato con abundante agua potable es la medida más efectiva que se puede tomar en primer lugar para el tratamiento de la contaminación química de los ojos o la piel. Esto, junto con la selección y colocación de duchas o estaciones de lavado de emergencia, son dos de las medidas cruciales que se pueden adoptar para responder eficazmente a una emergencia.
Los expertos médicos destacan la extrema importancia del acceso inmediato a una estación de lavado de emergencia. La probabilidad de lograr una recuperación total de las lesiones oculares es excelente si la víctima llega a una estación de lavado de los ojos en un plazo de 10 a 15 segundos. El pánico, el dolor y el oscurecimiento de la visión reducirán el tiempo de respuesta, por lo que es importante que las estaciones de emergencia se coloquen en lugares bien visibles.
La duración del lavado y la cantidad de agua utilizada en él resultan fundamentales para el tratamiento con éxito de los ojos o la piel. La duración mínima del lavado de los ojos es de 15 minutos, aunque la mayoría de los expertos coincide en señalar que resulta más apropiado hacerlo durante 20 a 30 minutos. Es importante regular atentamente la presión del agua de la estación de lavado de los ojos, ya que el tejido ocular debilitado puede resultar dañado fácilmente.
Se deben establecer, con la ayuda de profesionales médicos capacitados, medidas de primeros auxilios para las lesiones químicas; éstas, al igual que todas las precauciones de seguridad, deben ser revisadas y actualizadas con regularidad.

Kalb’s Q & A for ContractorsBy David Kalb, Capitol Services, Inc.
You likely won’t know them, hear about them or see them, but CSLB investigators are waiting to ‘sting’ criminals pretending to be contractors in CA. As State budgets are impacted by reductions across the board, SWIFT agents are allying with local law enforcement in their efforts to protect consumer and contractor alike from damages caused by fraudulent criminal activity…Unlicensed contractors have always been a prob-lem for the construction industry and will unfor-tunately never totally be eliminated. I have read and heard from some legitimate contractors that the CSLB is not doing enough to combat unlicensed activities. For those that are playing by the rules, seeing a homeowner hire someone who is not licensed or bonded is upsetting to say the least.The present enforcement activities against those that are unlicensed, uninsured and uncovered by Worker’s Compensation is the strongest I’ve seen in my 30 years dealing with the CSLB.Two recent examples show how active the Board is throughout the State. On June 9, 2011, The CSLB in conjunction with the Santa Cruz County District Attorney’s Office and California Depart-ment of Insurance conducted a sting operation at a home near the Santa Cruz Harbor. They net-ted seven people suspected of violating state consumer protection and labor laws. Santa Cruz County District Attorney Bob Lee stated, “We strive to maintain a level playing field in a difficult
economic environment by trying to prevent sub-jects who lower costs by not abiding by the law from undercutting licensed contractors.”
The day before, on June 8th, the Contractors Board in partnership with the Yolo County District Attorney’s Office and State Dept. of Insurance caught 11 unlicensed operators in an undercover sting in Woodland.
Investigators from the CSLB’s Statewide Investiga-tive Fraud Team (SWIFT) and the DA’s office posed as homeowners seeking bids for home improve-ment projects such as roofing, painting, fenc-ing and general building. Those who submitted bids for more than $500 for labor and materials received citations from the DA’s office for mis-demeanor contracting without a license. Those who claimed they had workers will also face mis-demeanor charges for failure to obtain Worker’s Compensation Insurance. One unlicensed individual from Santa Cruz bid for roofing work and did not have a license, or work-er’s comp insurance (which roofing contractors must have even if they certify to CSLB that they have no employees).An unlicensed painter was trapped by the Wood-land sting and received a Notice to Appear for contracting without a license. This individual is no stranger to CSLB in that he has a pending court case in October, on charges of – yes you guessed

high heat, if we find that conditions at an out-door worksite are putting vulnerable employees at risk due to lack of shade or water, we will shut them down until hazards are abated,” added Widess. “We work closely with other agencies such as the California Labor Commissioner’s Of-fice and the Contractor’s State Licensing Board to bring serious enforcement actions against employers who are found in violation of health and safety and labor standards.”
The heat illness prevention standard was strengthened last year to include a high heat
provision that must be implemented by five in-dustries when temperatures reach 95 degrees. These procedures include observing employ-ees, closely supervising new employees, and reminding all employees throughout the shift to drink water. The specified industries include ag-riculture, construction, landscaping, oil and gas extraction and transportation or delivery of agri-cultural products, construction material or other heavy material.
For more information on heat illness prevention and training material visit the Cal/OSHA web-
site at www.dir.ca.gov/DOSH/HeatIllnessInfo.html or the Water Rest. Shade. campaign site at www.99calor.org/campaign/. Employees with work-related questions or com-plaints, including heat illness, can call the Cali-fornia Workers’ Information Hotline at (866) 924-9757 or 1-877-99-CALOR.
