California employers are concerned that Cal/ OSHA will use as precedent a federal court’s deci- sion in Illinois that workers’ comp insurance car- riers can be compelled to hand over documents to the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration about their clients. The court said that insurers could be ordered legally to provide Fed-OSHA with findings from safety inspections, loss control reports and/or correspondence between the carrier and the employer. The decision came in a case where a workers’ comp carrier disputed OSHA’s right to the documents in question. In California, Cal/OSHA officials say the agency hasn’t in the past looked to workers’ comp car- riers to help complete its investigations. Cal/ OSHA’s investigations focus on the employer’s own records and the worksite. But it is clear that this doesn’t mean that it won’t attempt to obtain records from carriers in the future. “Cal/OSHA does have broad power to obtain records, but the Division of Occupational Safety and Health has never attempted to subpoena such records,” according to Department of In- dustrial Relations spokeswoman Erika Monter- roza. “So it hasn’t been tested in court and we don’t want to express any opinion on untested authority.” Whether this will be enough to insulate the Cali- fornia market from the “chilling effect” of the Il- linois decision is still to be seen. The Illinois case stems from OSHA’s attempt to investigate the deaths of two workers at a grain mill operated by Haasbach LLC. As part of that investigation, OSHA issued a subpoena to Grin- nell Mutual Reinsurance Company, Haasbach’s workers’ comp carrier, to produce documents and testify about inspections and reports it pre- pared for the company. It refused. Grinnell maintains that Haasbach’s operations were not under OSHA’s jurisdiction and that the carrier would be irreparably harmed by turning over the requested documents that it claims are privileged under Illinois law. It also objected to the subpoena, noting that requested documents could find their way into the hands of the plain- tiff in a pending lawsuit related to the accident. Grinnell asked for a stay of the order at least until Haasbach exhausted its administrative challeng- es, including a final determination of whether it is even under OSHA’s jurisdiction. It also con- tends that enforcing the subpoena would cause a chilling effect that would discourage busi- nesses from allowing insurers to conduct safety inspections if the findings ultimately could be used against them by OSHA or in litigation. But in ordering the carrier to comply, Judge Philip Reinhard from the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois noted that under federal law — 29 U.S.C. section 657(b) — OSHA can “require the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of evidence un- der oath” as part of an inspection and/or inves- tigation. Judge Reinhard also denied Grinnell’s request for a stay, noting that its claim of irrepa- rable harm is unconvincing. “It simply argues that the information turned over to OSHA may be- come public or be transmitted to the state court plaintiff. Why this would happen or why noth- ing can be done to prevent it short of refusing to give OSHA the information in the first place is not explained,” Reinhard wrote. “Grinnell has not shown that it cannot receive the protection it seeks, assuming it is entitled to protection, in the OSHA proceeding or from the state court.” Reinhard also downplayed the argument about a potential chilling effect. “Assuming for the sake of argument that this is true, correcting that prob- lem is a policy decision to be made somewhere other than in the federal courts,” he concluded.

Urgent RequestSBCA & AIA Members Continue Dialog with the
City of Santa Barbara Community Development Dept.By Peter Novak
In an effort to improve the planning and permitting process we are having ongoing meetings with staff at the City of Santa Barbara. Community Development Department. The Community Development Department is responsible for planning & zoning, building and safety, and hous-ing and redevelopment for the City of Santa Barbara.
We need examples/stories from our membership of experiences in the City plan check/permit-ting process that can help illustrate the problems and frustrations that we have experienced. The City is open to dialog and review of the process in order to better serve the community, and is adopting procedural improvements to that end. Please send plan check submittals that illustrate issuescosting time and money to rectify, or examples that tell the story to the SBCA at [email protected]. Along with AIASB, we are continuing our dialog with the City Building Department to collec-tively find ways to improve the plan check/permit process. We are talking to them about:
Creating a more interactive communication through the city’s departmental routing pro-• cedure, allowing a more timely resolution to plan check corrections and requests for more information;Expediting the entire process through the use of email;• Offering a checklist for plan check applicants;• Creating a tiered permit system with a simpler process for small projects;• Offering a pre-application meeting with the Planning Department; assign a designated • planner for each project application;Setting up a digital drawing review process; •
If you are interested in getting invloved or would like to be notified about upcoming meeting dates with the City of Santa Barbara please contact the SBCA or AIASB.

CROSS CONTAMINATION
Cross contamination occurs when workers spread contaminants around the worksite and into their homes by soiled clothing, shoes, and skin contact. Contaminants can be transferred to the items workers touch, sit on or walk on. Using good personal hygiene at work by hand washing, showering, and changing dirty clothing and shoes can help prevent cross contamination.
Workers that handle chemicals and contaminants in the workplace are aware that the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety glasses, respirators, coveralls, and boots, can reduce or eliminate their exposures. PPE can act as a barrier against the contaminants and protect the worker. If, however, a worker does not properly wash, remove or decontaminate soiled PPE and skin after leaving the work area, they can spread the contaminants outside the industrial work zone, to themselves, their coworkers, and to their family, homes, and cars.
The spread of contaminants is hazardous when unprotected workers, coworkers or family members come into contact with dirty surfaces. Skin exposures occur if they touch a soiled surface, and accidental ingestion can occur if they eat or drink something that has been contaminated. The contaminants of concern include chemicals such as solvents, herbicides, and pesticides, and industrial materials such as lead, asbestos and fiberglass. Potentially infectious materials such as blood and other body fluids pose a bloodborne pathogen hazard. Field workers should be aware that they can contact and spread irritating plant oils from poison ivy and poison oak.
When workers hug family members, prepare food, and touch the furniture, bedding, and carpet in the home, they could contaminate them if they have not washed their skin and removed or decontaminated soiled clothing and PPE. Workers can contaminate their coworkers and the worksite when they contact areas such as the break room, restroom, and office areas. Workers can also increase their own exposures if they eat, drink or smoke before washing their hands and removing or cleaning their PPE.
Cross contamination of the workplace can be prevented by removing or decontaminating PPE and washing hands before exiting the work zone. To prevent cross contamination at home, workers should wash their hands and faces at the end of a work shift and change into clean clothes and shoes. Workers can also take a shower and wash their hair before leaving work or as soon as they get home. Work clothes should be washed in hot water, separately from the family clothing, and given two rinse cycles.

CONTAMINACIÓN CRUZADA
La contaminación cruzada ocurre cuando los trabajadores diseminan en sus casas los contaminantes que traen de su sitio de trabajo en la ropa, los zapatos o la piel. Los contaminantes pueden ser transferidos a los artículos que el trabajador toca, así como a los lugares donde se sienta o donde camina. La buena higiene personal en el trabajo — lavarse las manos, bañarse y cambiarse de ropa y zapatos sucios — puede ayudar a prevenir la contaminación cruzada.
Los trabajadores que manejan productos químicos y contaminantes en su trabajo están conscientes de que el uso de quipos de protección personal (PPE, por sus siglas en inglés), tales como guantes, gafas de seguridad, equipos de respiración, overoles y botas, puede reducir o eliminar su exposición. Los PPE pueden actuar como una barrera contra los contaminantes y proteger al trabajador. Sin embargo, si el trabajador no se lava debidamente, no se quita o descontamina sus PPE o no se lava la piel sucia antes de salir de su área de trabajo, puede diseminar los contaminantes fuera de la zona industrial de trabajo sobre su persona, sus compañeros de trabajo y su familia, su casa y su automóvil.
La diseminación de contaminantes es peligrosa cuando los trabajadores los compañeros de trabajo o los familiares sin protección entran en contacto con superficies sucias. La piel queda expuesta cuando se toca una superficie sucia, y puede ocurrir una ingestión accidental si comen o beben algo que ha quedado contaminado. Los contaminantes preocupantes incluyen productos químicos tales como solventes, herbicidas y pesticidas, así como materiales industriales como el plomo, asbesto y fibra de vidrio. Los materiales potencialmente infecciosos, tales como sangre y otros fluidos del cuerpo presentan un peligro de patógenos de la sangre. Los trabajadores que están en el campo deben estar conscientes de que pueden entrar en contacto y diseminar aceites irritantes provenientes de las plantas como hiedra venenosa y zumaque venenoso.
Cuando los trabajadores abrazan a sus familiares, preparan alimentos o tocan los muebles, camas y alfombras en su casa, pueden contaminarlos si no se han lavado la piel o no se han quitado o descontaminado la ropa y PPE sucios. Los trabajadores pueden contaminar a sus compañeros de trabajo y al sitio de trabajo cuando entran en contacto con áreas tales como la sala de descanso, los sanitarios o las áreas de oficina. Los trabajadores también pueden aumentar su propia exposición si comen, beben o fuman antes de lavarse las manos y quitarse o limpiarse los PPE.
La contaminación cruzada en el sitio de trabajo puede evitarse quitándose o descontaminado los PPE y lavándose las manos antes de salir de la zona de trabajo. Para evitar la contaminación cruzada en su casa, los trabajadores deben lavarse las manos y la cara al final de su turno de trabajo y cambiarse a ropa y zapatos limpios. Los trabajadores también deben bañarse y lavarse el pelo antes de salir del trabajo o tan pronto como lleguen a su casa. La ropa de trabajo debe lavarse en agua caliente, por separado de la ropa de la familia y someterse a dos ciclos de enjuague.

How to reduce production costs
One way to do this is to prevent workplace injuries. Supervisors are often in the position to promote safety
through training, motivation, and enforcement.
Understand the importance of safety
It is essential that supervisors understand the role of safety in the production of quality goods and services. Failure to
do so can lead to increased costs through higher insurance premiums, damaged goods and machinery, lost production time, and a shortage of skilled employees

Here’s some feedback from readers like you… In a recent column your answer to the question on the HAZ CERTIFICATION is not complete. For instance, a General Building (B) contractor could bring a qualifier for the “C-36” on board whom also holds/obtains the HAZ MAT for the purpose of installing/removing underground tanks. I appreciate your clarification. The question I was asked was, “could someone come on board with the Hazardous Certification only”? They did not want to withdraw as RMO, but also, did not want to take the Haz. exam. Nonetheless, your point is well taken since the above example would cer-tainly be a workable alternative. Thanks for tak-ing time to help us all better understand State law and it’s ongoing interpretation. As my space is limited, I ‘m often only able to provide answers focused on the exact question the contractor asked. Q. I understand that our RMO must own 20% of the company. We are starting a new business and this person will have less than 5% owner-ship. I do not know if it matters, but he has been licensed in the past. I came across one of your columns that contradicts what I was told. What do you suggest? A. What you may have heard through the some-
times unreliable “grapevine’ is considered by many to be the law. In reality, there is no rule or regulation that requires the Responsible Manag-ing Officer (RMO) to own any stock in the com-pany. The “20%” rule applies if your RMO is pres-ently a qualifier for another company and wants to qualify BOTH licenses. Your qualifier appears to have been the RMO for his previous employer but this license expired last year. There should no problem with him being your RMO regardless of his ownership percentage.
Q: My Responsible Managing Employee, or RME. is not working out. I would like to fire him but cannot because he has said he’ll take the license when he leaves. He dangles this over me and I feel like I’m being held hostage. Do have any suggestions on what I can do to resolve this situ-ation?
A: I am sorry your Qualifier is a. . . problem. How-ever, be assured that when a RME is fired, or leaves your company for any reason, he cannot “take the license”. This license belongs to your corporation, NOT the RME.
You should start by completing a Notice of Dis-association informing the CSLB that your Quali-fier is no longer employed by the firm. The cor-poration will then have 90 days to replace him. During this time, the license remains in good standing as if the RME were still listed. Part of the reason this law exists is to insure that a company cannot be “held hostage” and has adequate time
to find a new qualifying individual. If it appears it will take longer than 90 days to replace your Qualifier, I suggest petitioning the CSLB for ad-ditional time.
For those in this situation, you may want file an application to replace the Qualifier, since the Board is sponsoring legislation to amend this “90 day extension” rule.

Accidents are unplanned and unexpected events that cause injury, property damage, and/or financial loss in the workplace. Incidents or “near misses” don’t result in loss, but have the potential to do so.
Ideally, safety programs focus on preventing accidents and incidents, but if one occurs, have an accident in-vestigation procedure ready and train your employees how to use it. Investigate ALL accidents and injuries; the severity determines the extent of the investigation. Handled properly, accident investigation helps you look at problems, solve them, improve your safety pro-grams, and prevent future accidents.
Accident investigation should prevent recurrence. Ad-hering strictly to fact finding in a neutral, non-confron-tational manner identifies the true attitudes, behaviors, and other factors that led to the problem. Analyzing facts and asking a neutral “why” question helps find the root cause of the accident. For example, if employee er-ror caused the accident, dig further to determine why the employee made the error.
Accident investigation should not be used to blame,
punish or exonerate workers and managers; true facts will not emerge in this environment. If you investigate an accident just to complete paperwork and satisfy in-surance requirements, you will erode confidence in the system and you won’t achieve your goal of prevention and loss reduction.
A supervisor in the affected area is the best person to conduct an investigation because they are most fa-miliar with the tools, equipment, and people involved. Experts in equipment, outside agencies, and other technical resources may also be needed.
Start your investigation by securing the scene, placing equipment out of service if necessary, and taking pho-tos. Interview victims and witnesses. Collect evidence and records and document your observations. Find the contributing factors to determine the accident’s root cause. Document the recommended corrective actions, the people assigned to complete them, and a due date for completion.
The above evaluations and/or recommendations are for general guidance only and should not be relied upon for legal compliance purposes. They are based solely on the information provided to us and relate only to those conditions specifically discussed. We do not make any warranty, expressed or implied, that your workplace is safe or healthful or that it complies with all laws, regulations or standards.
